Exercise 2.

1 Solutions: Evaluating Limits

1. Evaluate the limit:

(a) lim (ln x) / (x - 1) as x -> 1


Using L'Hopital's Rule:
lim (ln x) / (x - 1) = lim (1/x) / (1) = 1.

(b) lim (e^x / x^2) as x -> infinity


Since exponential functions grow faster than polynomials, lim (e^x / x^2) = infinity.

(c) lim (tan x - x) / x^3 as x -> 0


Using Taylor series expansion: tan x approx x + x^3/3,
tan x - x approx x^3/3,
Thus, lim (tan x - x) / x^3 = 1/3.

(d) lim (tan x - x) / (x - sin x) as x -> 0


Using approximations: tan x - x approx x^3/3, x - sin x approx x^3/6,
lim (x^3/3) / (x^3/6) = 2.

(e) lim (x e^x - (1 + x) ln(1 + x)) / x^2 as x -> 0


Using expansions: e^x approx 1 + x + x^2/2, ln(1 + x) approx x - x^2/2,
We simplify and find lim = 1/2.

(f) lim (e^(2x) - 1) / sin x as x -> 0


Since e^(2x) - 1 approx 2x + 2x^2 and sin x approx x,
lim (2x + 2x^2) / x = 2.

(g) lim (cos x) / (1 - sin x) as x -> pi/2


Using approximations: cos x approx pi/2 - x, 1 - sin x approx (pi - 2x)^2 / 2,
Evaluating the limit gives 1.
(h) lim (1/x - 1/(e^x - 1)) as x -> 0
Using expansion e^x - 1 approx x + x^2/2,
lim (1/x - 1/(x + x^2/2)) = 1/2.
