We'll re-write the numerator of the function f(x) using
the half angle identity.
[sin(x/2)]^2 = (1-cos
x)/2
f(x) =
2[sin(x/2)]^2/x^2*cos4x
We'll evaluate the
limit:
lim 2[sin(x/2)]^2/x^2*cos4x =
2lim[sin(x/2)]^2/x^2*lim 1/cos4x
2lim[sin(x/2)]^2/x^2*lim
1/cos4x = 2lim[sin(x/2)]/x*lim sin(x/2)/x*lim 1/cos4x
We
know that the remarcable limit is:
lim sin u(x)/u(x) =
1
We'll create the remarcable
limit:
lim(1/2)*[sin(x/2)]/(x/2) = (1/2))*lim
[sin(x/2)]/(x/2) = (1/2)*1
lim(1/2)*[sin(x/2)]/(x/2) =
1/2
The limit of the function
is:
2lim[sin(x/2)]^2/x^2*lim 1/cos4x = 2*(1/2)*(1/2)*lim
1/cos4x
We'll substitute x by
0:
2*(1/2)*(1/2)*lim 1/cos4x = (1/2)*(1/cos 0) = 1/2*1 =
1/2
The limit of the function, if the
accumulation point is x = 0, is: lim f(x) = 1/2.
