Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around finding the limit of the function f(x) = 2[x^(sin(2x))]cos(2x) as x approaches 0. Participants are exploring the behavior of the function near this limit point.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Mathematical reasoning, Assumption checking

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants discuss various approaches to evaluate the limit, including the use of logarithmic transformations and L'Hôpital's rule. There are questions about the validity of specific steps taken in the calculations, particularly regarding the manipulation of sin(2x)ln(x).

Discussion Status

The discussion includes multiple interpretations of the limit and the correctness of the steps involved. Some participants express uncertainty about their calculations, while others provide feedback on specific steps. There is no explicit consensus, but some guidance has been offered regarding the correctness of certain approaches.

Contextual Notes

Participants note the absence of a marking scheme, which contributes to their uncertainty about the correctness of their answers. There is also a mention of skipping steps in the reasoning process, which raises questions about the assumptions made during the calculations.

f(0,∞)->R
f(x)=2 [x^(sin(2x)] cos(2x)
find lim(x->0)f(x)=?

I have done all my hits all failed!
can you please tell me how to solve it?

Well, tell us what you have tried so we will know what hints will help.

i have reached to this answer! is it correct..

let y = [x^(sin(2x)] cos(2x)
ln(y)= sin(2x)*ln(x)+ln(cos(2x))
lim(x->0) sin(2x)*ln(x)+ln(cos(2x))
lim(x->0) sin(2x)*ln(x) //(as ln(cos(0))=ln(1)=0
lim(x->0)2sin(x)ln(x)
lim(x->0)2 ln(x)/cosec(x)
L Hopital
lim(x->0)-2/(xcosec(x)cot(x))
lim(x->0)-2sin2(x)/xcos(x)
lim(x->0)-2sin2(x)/x
once again L hopital
lim(x->0)-4sin(x)cos(x)+2sin3(x)
=0....(area all steps correct)
ln(y)=0
y=1
;lim(x->0)f(x)=2y=2
is it correct. I doesn't have marking scheme or any thing like this so i can't tell what's correct answer..

The correct answer is 2.

you mean my answer is correct??
OR
you have already done this question and saying me that answer is 2??

The answer is correct.

The step that goes from
lim(x->0) sin(2x)*ln(x)​
to
lim(x->0)2sin(x)ln(x)​
is not correct, if you mean that sin(2x)ln(x) = 2sin(x)ln(x) .

I don't think that's right.

are nahi yar!
no i have just skipped a step..
lim(x->0)sin(2x)ln(x) =lim(x->0)2sin(x)cos(x)ln(x)
cos(0)=1
so
lim(x->0)sin(2x)ln(x) =lim(x->0)2sin(x)cos(x)ln(x)=lim(x->0)2sin(x)ln(x)

so what do you think about it..

lim(x->0)sin(2x)ln(x) =lim(x->0)2sin(x)cos(x)ln(x)=lim(x->0)2sin(x)ln(x)

so what do you think about it..

Ok so far. I'd double check if you still think the limit is 2.

I'm pretty sure that [itex]\displaystyle \lim_{x\to0^+}2\,x^{\sin(2x)} \cos(2x)=2\,.[/itex]

Yeah, you're right. I've been missing the initial '2' somehow. Sorry.
