Question 1:

Show that $\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{x}{|x|}$ does not exist.

Answer:

$\lim_{x \to 0} (\frac{x}{|x|})$

Left hand limit:
$\lim_{x \to 0^{-}} (\frac{x}{|x|}) Let x = 0 - h, where h \to 0 . \Rightarrow \lim_{h \to 0} (\frac{0 - h}{|0 - h|}) = \lim_{h \to 0} (\frac{- h}{h}) = - 1$

Right hand limit:
$\lim_{x \to 0^{+}} \frac{(x)}{|x|} Let x = 0 + h, where h \to 0 . \lim_{h \to 0} (\frac{0 + h}{|0 + h|}) = \lim_{h \to 0} (\frac{h}{h}) = 1$

Left hand limit ≠ Right hand limit
$Thus, \lim_{x \to 0} (\frac{x}{|x|}) does not exist .$

Question 2:

Find k so that $\lim_{x \to 2} f (x)$ may exist, where $f (x) = \{\begin{cases} 2 x + 3, & x \leq 2 \\ x + k, & x > 2 \end{cases} .$

Answer:

$f (x) = \{\begin{cases} 2 x + 3, & x \leq 2 \\ x + k, & x > 2 \end{cases} Left hand limit : \lim_{x \to 2^{-}} f (x) = \lim_{x \to 2^{-}} (2 x + 3) Let x = 2 - h, where h \to 0 . \lim_{h \to 0} [2 (2 - h) + 3] = 2 (2 - 0) + 3 = 7 Right hand limit : \lim_{x \to 2^{+}} f (x) = \lim_{x \to 2^{+}} (x + k) Let x = 2 + h, where h \to 0 . \lim_{h \to 0} (2 + h + k) = 2 + k$

Now, $\lim_{x \to 2} f (x)$ exists if the left hand limit is equal to the right hand limit.

⇒7 = 2 + k
k = 5

Question 3:

Show that $\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{1}{x}$ does not exist.

Answer:

$\lim_{x \to 0} (\frac{1}{x}) Left hand limit : \lim_{x \to 0^{-}} (\frac{1}{x}) Let x = 0 - h, where h \to 0 \lim_{h \to 0} (\frac{1}{0 - h}) = - \infty Right hand limit : \lim_{x \to 0^{+}} (\frac{1}{x}) Let x = 0 + h, where h \to 0 \lim_{h \to 0} (\frac{1}{0 + h}) = \infty \lim_{x \to 0^{-}} (\frac{1}{x}) \neq \lim_{x \to 0^{+}} (\frac{1}{x}) Thus, \lim_{x \to 0} (\frac{1}{x}) does not exist .$

Question 4:

Let f(x) be a function defined by $f (x) = \{\begin{cases} \frac{3 x}{|x| + 2 x}, & x \neq 0 \\ 0, & x = 0 \end{cases} .$
Show that $\lim_{x \to 0} f (x)$ does not exist.

Answer:

$f (x) = \{\begin{cases} \frac{3 x}{|x| + 2 x}, & x \neq 0 \\ 0, & x = 0 \end{cases} Left hand limit : \lim_{x \to 0^{-}} [\frac{3 x}{|x| + 2 x}] Let x = 0 - h, where h \to 0 . \Rightarrow \lim_{h \to 0} [\frac{3 (- h)}{|- h| + 2 (- h)}] = \lim_{h \to 0} [\frac{- 3 h}{h - 2 h}] = \lim_{h \to 0} [\frac{- 3 h}{- h}] = 3 Right hand limit : \lim_{x \to 0^{+}} (\frac{3 x}{|x| + 2 x}) Let x = 0 + h, where h \to 0 . \Rightarrow^{} \lim_{h \to 0} (\frac{3 h}{|h| + 2 h}) = \lim_{h \to 0} (\frac{3 h}{h + 2 h}) = 1 \lim_{x \to 0^{-}} (\frac{3 x}{|x| + 2 x}) \neq \lim_{x \to 0^{+}} (\frac{3 x}{|x| + 2 x}) Thus, \lim_{x \to 0} f (x) does not exist .$

Question 5:

Let $f (x) = \{\begin{array}{l} x + 1, & if x \geq 0 \\ x - 1, & if x < 0 \end{array} .$ Prove that $\lim_{x \to 0} f (x)$ does not exist.

Answer:

$f (x) = \{\begin{cases} x + 1, & x \geq 0 \\ x - 1, & x < 0 \end{cases} RHL : \lim_{x \to 0^{+}} f (x) = \lim_{x \to 0} (x + 1) Let x = 0 + h, where h \to 0 . \lim_{h \to 0} (0 + h + 1) = 1 LHL : \lim_{x \to 0^{-}} f (x) = \lim_{x \to 0^{-}} (x - 1) Let x = 0 - h, where h \to 0 . \lim_{h \to 0} (0 - h - 1) = - 1 LHL \neq RHL Thus, \lim_{x \to 0} f (x) does not exist .$

Question 6:

Let $f (x) = \{\begin{cases} x + 5, & if x > 0 \\ x - 4, & if x < 0 \end{cases}$ . Prove that $\lim_{x \to 0} f (x)$ does not exist.

Answer:

We have,

$f (x) = \{\begin{cases} x + 5, & if x > 0 \\ x - 4, & if x < 0 \end{cases}$

LHL of f(x) at x = 0

= $\lim_{x \to 0^{-}} f (x) = \lim_{h \to 0} f (0 - h) = \lim_{h \to 0} (0 - h - 4) = - 4$

RHL of f(x) at x = 0

= $\lim_{x \to 0^{+}} f (x) = \lim_{h \to 0} f (0 + h) = \lim_{h \to 0} (0 + h + 5) = 5$

Clearly, $\lim_{x \to 0^{-}} f (x) \neq \lim_{x \to 0^{+}} f (x)$

Hence, $\lim_{x \to 0} f (x)$ does not exist.

Question 7:

Find $\lim_{x \to 3} f (x)$ , where $f (x) = \{\begin{cases} 4, & if x > 3 \\ x + 1, & if x < 3 \end{cases}$

Answer:

We have,

$f (x) = \{\begin{cases} 4, & if x > 3 \\ x + 1, & if x < 3 \end{cases}$

LHL of f(x) at x = 3

= $\lim_{x \to 3^{-}} f (x) = \lim_{h \to 0} f (3 - h) = \lim_{h \to 0} (3 - h + 1) = 4$

RHL of f(x) at x = 3

= $\lim_{x \to 3^{+}} f (x) = \lim_{h \to 0} f (3 + h) = \lim_{h \to 0} 4 = 4$

Clearly, $\lim_{x \to 3^{-}} f (x) = \lim_{x \to 3^{+}} f (x) = 4$

$∴ \lim_{x \to 3} f (x) = 4$

Answer:

$f (x) = \{\begin{cases} 2 x + 3, & x \leq 0 \\ 3 (x + 1), & x > 0 \end{cases} LHL : \lim_{x \to 0^{-}} f (x) = \lim_{x \to 0^{-}} (2 x + 3) Let x = 0 - h, where h \to 0 . \lim_{h \to 0} [2 (0 - h) + 3] = \lim_{h \to 0} [- 2 h + 3] = 3 RHL : \lim_{x \to 0^{+}} f (x) \lim_{x \to 0^{+}} 3 (x + 1) Let x = 0 + h, where h \to 0 . \lim_{h \to 0} 3 (0 + h + 1) = \lim_{h \to 0} (3 h + 3) = 3 ∴ LHL = RHL ∴ \lim_{x \to 0} f (x) = 3$

(ii)
$\lim_{x \to 1} f (x) = ? LHL : \lim_{x \to 1^{-}} f (x) = \lim_{x \to 1^{-}} 3 (x + 1) Let x = 1 - h, where h \to 0 . \lim_{h \to 0} 3 (1 - h + 1) = 6 RHL : \lim_{x \to 1^{+}} f (x) = \lim_{x \to 1^{+}} 3 (x + 1) Let x = 1 + h, where h \to 0 . \lim_{h \to 0} 3 (1 + h + 1) = 6 ∴ LHL = RHL \lim_{x \to 1} f (x) = 6$

Answer:

$\lim_{x \to 1} f (x) = ? f (x) = \{\begin{cases} x^{2} - 1, & x \leq 1 \\ - x^{2} - 1, & x > 1 \end{cases} LHL : \lim_{x \to 1^{-}} f (x) = \lim_{x \to 1^{-}} (x^{2} - 1) Let x = 1 - h, where h \to 0 . \lim_{h \to 0} ({(1 - h)}^{2} - 1) = 0 RHL : \lim_{x \to 1^{+}} f (x) \lim_{x \to 1^{+}} (- x^{2} - 1) Let x = 1 + h, where h \to 0 . \lim_{h \to 0} (- {(1 + h)}^{2} - 1) = - 2 LHL \neq RHL Thus, \lim_{x \to 1} f (x) d oes not exist .$

Question 10:

Evaluate $\lim_{x \to 0} f (x)$ , where $f (x) = \{\begin{cases} \frac{|x|}{x}, & x \neq 0 \\ 0, & x = 0 \end{cases}$

Answer:

$f (x) = \{\begin{cases} \frac{|x|}{x}, & x \neq 0 \\ 0, & x = 0 \end{cases} LHL : \lim_{x \to 0^{-}} (\frac{|x|}{x}) Let x = 0 - h, where h \to 0 . \Rightarrow \lim_{h \to 0} (\frac{|0 - h|}{- h}) = \lim_{h \to 0} (\frac{h}{- h}) = - 1 RHL : \lim_{x \to 0^{+}} f (x) = \lim_{x \to 0^{+}} (\frac{|x|}{x}) Let x = 0 + h, where h \to 0 . \lim_{h \to 0} (\frac{|0 + h|}{0 + h}) = 1 LHL \neq RHL \underset{x \to 0}{Thus, \lim} f (x) does not exist .$

(v)
$\lim_{x \to 0^{+}} \frac{2}{x^{\frac{1}{5}}} Let x = 0 + h, where h \to 0 . \Rightarrow \lim_{h \to 0} [\frac{2}{h^{\frac{1}{5}}}] = \infty$

We know:
$\lim_{x \to \frac{5}{2}} [x] = \lim_{x \to {\frac{5}{2}}^{-}} [x] = \lim_{x \to {\frac{5}{2}}^{+}} [x]$

$∴ \lim_{x \to \frac{5}{2}} [x] = 2$

Answer:

$f (x) = \{\begin{matrix} x - [x], & x < 2 \\ 4, & x = 2 \\ 3 x - 5, & x > 2 \end{matrix} LHL : \lim_{x \to 2^{-}} f (x) = \lim_{x \to 2^{-}} \{x - [x]\} Let x = 2 - h, where h \to 0 . \Rightarrow \lim_{h \to 0} [(2 - h) - [2 - h]] = 2 - (1) = 1 RHL : \lim_{x \to 2^{+}} f (x) = \lim_{x \to 2^{+}} (3 x - 5) Let x = 2 + h, where h \to 0 . \Rightarrow \lim_{h \to 0} [3 (2 + h) - 5] = 6 - 5 = 1 Here, LHL = RHL = 1 ∴ \lim_{x \to 2} f (x) = 1$

$\lim_{x \to 0^{-}} f (x)$ = – (An oscillating number that oscillates between –1 and 1)

$Thus, \lim_{x \to 0^{-}} f (x) does not exist . Similarly, \lim_{x \to 0^{+}} f (x) does not exist .$

$f (x) = \{\begin{cases} \frac{k \cos x}{π - 2 x}, & where x \neq \frac{π}{2} \\ 3, & where x = \frac{π}{2} \end{cases}$

It is given that,

$\lim_{x \to \frac{π}{2}} f (x) = f (\frac{π}{2}) \Rightarrow \lim_{x \to \frac{π}{2}} \frac{k \cos x}{π - 2 x} = 3 \Rightarrow \frac{k}{2} \times \lim_{x - \frac{π}{2} \to 0} \frac{\sin (\frac{π}{2} - x)}{\frac{π}{2} - x} = 3 \Rightarrow \frac{k}{2} \times \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{\sin (- h)}{- h} = 3 (Put x - \frac{π}{2} = h)$
$\Rightarrow \frac{k}{2} \times \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{\sin h}{h} = 3 [\sin (- θ) = - \sin θ] \Rightarrow \frac{k}{2} = 3 (\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\sin x}{x} = 1) \Rightarrow k = 6$

Hence, the value of k is 6.

Question 29:

$\lim_{x \to - 2} \frac{x^{3} + x^{2} + 4 x + 12}{x^{3} - 3 x + 2}$

Answer:

Let p(x) = x³ + x² + 4x + 12
p(–2) = 0
Thus, x = –2 is the root of p(x).
Now, $(x + 2)$ is a factor of p(x).

p(x) = x³ + x² + 4x + 12
= (x + 2)(x² – x + 6)

Let q(x) = x³ – 3x + 2
q $(- 2)$ = $-$ 8 + 6 + 2
= 0
Thus, x = $-$ 2 is the root of q(x).
Now, $(x + 2)$ is a factor of q(x).

$x^{2} - 2 x + 1 x + 2 x^{3} - 3 x + 2 x^{3} + 2 x^{2} - - - 2 x^{2} - 3 x + 2 - 2 x^{2} - 4 x + + x + 2 x + 2 - - \times \times \times$

Question 34:

Evaluate the following limits:

$\lim_{x \to 1} \frac{x^{7} - 2 x^{5} + 1}{x^{3} - 3 x^{2} + 2}$

Answer:

When x = 1, the expression $\frac{x^{7} - 2 x^{5} + 1}{x^{3} - 3 x^{2} + 2}$ assumes the form $\frac{0}{0}$ . So, (x − 1) is a factor of numerator and denominator.

Using long division method, we get

$x^{7} - 2 x^{5} + 1 = (x - 1) (x^{6} + x^{5} - x^{4} - x^{3} - x^{2} - x - 1)$

and $x^{3} - 3 x^{2} + 2 = (x - 1) (x^{2} - 2 x - 2)$

$∴ \lim_{x \to 1} \frac{x^{7} - 2 x^{5} + 1}{x^{3} - 3 x^{2} + 2} = \lim_{x \to 1} \frac{(x - 1) (x^{6} + x^{5} - x^{4} - x^{3} - x^{2} - x - 1)}{(x - 1) (x^{2} - 2 x - 2)} = \lim_{x \to 1} \frac{x^{6} + x^{5} - x^{4} - x^{3} - x^{2} - x - 1}{x^{2} - 2 x - 2} = \frac{1 + 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1}{1 - 2 - 2} = \frac{- 3}{- 3} = 1$

= $\frac{2}{(\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{2}) (\sqrt{3 + 2 \sqrt{2}} + \sqrt{3 + 2 \sqrt{2}})}$

= $\frac{2}{(2 \sqrt{2}) (2 \sqrt{3 + 2 \sqrt{2}})}$

= $\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{2} (\sqrt{3 + 2 \sqrt{2}})}$

= $\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{2} \sqrt{{(\sqrt{2} + 1)}^{2}}}$

Question 1:

$\lim_{x \to a} \frac{{(x + 2)}^{5 / 2} - {(a + 2)}^{5 / 2}}{x - a}$

Answer:

$\lim_{x \to a} [\frac{{(x + 2)}^{\frac{5}{2}} - {(a + 2)}^{\frac{5}{2}}}{x - a}] = \lim_{x \to a} [\frac{{(x + 2)}^{\frac{5}{2}} - {(a + 2)}^{\frac{5}{2}}}{(x + 2) - (a + 2)}]$

Let y = x + 2 and b = a + 2.

When x → a, then x + 2 → a + 2.
⇒ y → b

$\lim_{y \to b} [\frac{y^{\frac{5}{2}} - b^{\frac{5}{2}}}{y - b}] = \frac{5}{2} {(b)}^{\frac{5}{2} - 1} = \frac{5}{2} b^{\frac{3}{2}} = \frac{5}{2} {(a + 2)}^{\frac{3}{2}}$

Let y = x + 2 and b = a + 2.

When x → a and x + 2 → a + 2.
$\Rightarrow$ y → b

$\lim_{y \to b} [\frac{y^{\frac{3}{2}} - b^{\frac{3}{2}}}{y - b}] = \frac{3}{2} {(b)}^{\frac{3}{2} - 1} = \frac{3}{2} b^{\frac{1}{2}} = \frac{3}{2} {(a + 2)}^{\frac{1}{2}}$

Let y = 1 + x

When x → 0, then 1 + x → 1.
$\Rightarrow$ y → 1

$\lim_{y \to 1} [(\frac{y^{6} - 1^{6}}{y - 1}) \times \frac{(y - 1)}{y^{2} - 1^{2}}] = \frac{6 \times {(1)}^{6 - 1}}{2 \times {(1)}^{2 - 1}} = \frac{6}{2} = 3$

Question 21:

$f (x) = \frac{a x^{2} + b}{x^{2} + 1}, \lim_{x \to 0} f (x) = 1$ and $\lim_{x \to \infty} f (x) = 1,$ then prove that f(−2) = f(2) = 1

Answer:

$f (x) = \frac{a x^{2} + b}{x^{2} + 1} \lim_{x \to 0} f (x) = 1 \Rightarrow \lim_{x \to 0} [\frac{a x^{2} + b}{x^{2} + 1}] = 1 \Rightarrow \frac{a \times 0 + b}{a + 1} = 1 \Rightarrow b = 1 Also, \lim_{x \to \infty} f (x) = 1 \lim_{x \to \infty} [\frac{a x^{2} + b}{x^{2} + 1}] = 1$

Dividing the numerator and the denominator by x²:

$\Rightarrow \lim_{x \to \infty} [\frac{a + \frac{b}{x^{2}}}{1 + \frac{1}{x^{2}}}] = 1 As x \to \infty, \frac{1}{x}, \frac{1}{x^{2}} \to 0 \Rightarrow \frac{a + 0}{1 + 0} = 1 \Rightarrow a = 1 ∴ a = 1, b = 1 \Rightarrow f (x) = \frac{x^{2} + 1}{x^{2} + 1} = 1 f (- 2) = 1 [Since f (x) is a constant function, its value does not depend on x .] f (2) = 1$

Question 22:

Show that $\lim_{x \to \infty} (\sqrt{x^{2} + x + 1} - x) \neq \lim_{x \to \infty} (\sqrt{x^{2} + 1} - x)$

Answer:

$\lim_{x \to \infty} (\sqrt{x^{2} + x + 1} - x) \neq \lim_{x \to \infty} (\sqrt{x^{2} + 1} - x) LHS : \lim_{x \to \infty} ((\sqrt{x^{2} + x + 1} - x)) Rationalising the numerator : \lim_{x \to \infty} [\frac{(\sqrt{x^{2} + x + 1} - x) (\sqrt{x^{2} + x + 1} + x)}{(\sqrt{x^{2} + x + 1} + x)}] = \lim_{x \to \infty} [\frac{(x^{2} + x + 1) - x^{2}}{(\sqrt{x^{2} + x + 1} + x)}] = \lim_{x \to \infty} [\frac{x + 1}{(\sqrt{x^{2} + x + 1} + x)}] Dividing the numerator and the denominator by x : \lim_{x \to \infty} [\frac{1 + \frac{1}{x}}{\frac{\sqrt{x^{2} + x + 1}}{x} + 1}] = \lim_{x \to \infty} [\frac{1 + \frac{1}{x}}{\sqrt{\frac{x^{2} + x + 1}{x^{2}}} + 1}] = \lim_{x \to \infty} [\frac{1 + \frac{1}{x}}{\sqrt{1 + \frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{x^{2}}} + 1}] When x \to \infty, then \frac{1}{x} \to 0 . \frac{1}{\sqrt{1} + 1} = \frac{1}{2} RHS : \lim_{x \to \infty} (\sqrt{x^{2} + 1} - x) [from \infty - \infty]$

Rationalising the numerator:

$\lim_{x \to \infty} [\frac{(\sqrt{x^{2} + 1} - x) (\sqrt{x^{2} + 1} + x)}{(\sqrt{x^{2} + 1} + x)}] = \lim_{x \to \infty} [\frac{x^{2} + 1 - x^{2}}{(\sqrt{x^{2} + 1} + x)}] = \frac{1}{\infty} = 0 ∴ \lim_{x \to \infty} [\sqrt{x^{2} + x + 1} - x] \neq \lim_{x \to \infty} (\sqrt{x^{2} + 1} - x)$

Question 23:

$\lim_{x \to - \infty} (\sqrt{4 x^{2} - 7 x} + 2 x)$

Answer:

$\lim_{x \to - \infty} (\sqrt{4 x^{2} - 7 x} + 2 x)$

Let x = $-$ m
When n → – ∞, then m → ∞.

$\Rightarrow \lim_{m \to \infty} [\sqrt{4 m^{2} + 7 m} - 2 m] = \lim_{m \to \infty} [(\sqrt{4 m^{2} = 7 m} - 2 m) \times \frac{(\sqrt{4 m^{2} + 7 m} + 2 m)}{(\sqrt{4 m^{2} + 7 m} + 2 m)}] = \lim_{m \to \infty} [\frac{(4 m^{2} + 7 m) - {(2 m)}^{2}}{\sqrt{4 m^{2} + 7 m} + 2 m}] = \lim_{m \to \infty} [\frac{4 m^{2} + 7 m - 4 m^{2}}{\sqrt{4 m^{2} + 7 m} + 2 m}]$

Dividing the numerator and the denominator by m:

$\lim_{m \to \infty} [\frac{7}{\sqrt{\frac{4 m^{2} + 7 m}{m^{2}}} + \frac{2 m}{m}}] = \lim_{m \to \infty} [\frac{7}{\sqrt{\frac{4 m^{2}}{m^{2}} + \frac{7 m}{m^{2}}} + 2}] = \lim_{m \to \infty} [\frac{7}{\sqrt{4 + \frac{7}{m}} + 2}] As m \to \infty, \frac{1}{m} \to 0 = \frac{7}{\sqrt{4} + 2} = \frac{7}{4}$

Question 24:

$\lim_{x \to - \infty} (\sqrt{x^{2} - 8 x} + x)$

Answer:

$\lim_{x \to - \infty} (\sqrt{x^{2} - 8 x} + x)$

Let x = –m

When x → –∞, then m → ∞.

$\lim_{m \to \infty} (\sqrt{m^{2} + 8 m} - m) = \lim_{m \to \infty} (\frac{(\sqrt{m^{2} + 8 m} - m) (\sqrt{m^{2} + 8 m} + m)}{(\sqrt{m^{2} + 8 m} + m)}) = \lim_{m \to \infty} [\frac{m^{2} + 8 m - m^{2}}{\sqrt{m^{2} + 8 m} + m}]$

Dividing the numerator and the denominator by m:

$\lim_{m \to \infty} [\frac{8}{\frac{\sqrt{m^{2} + 8 m} + 1}{m}}] = \lim_{m \to \infty} [\frac{8}{\sqrt{\frac{m^{2}}{m^{2}} + \frac{8 m}{m^{2}}} + 1}] = \lim_{m \to \infty} [\frac{8}{\sqrt{1 + \frac{8}{m}} + 1}] As m \to \infty, \frac{1}{m} \to 0 = \frac{8}{\sqrt{1 + 0} + 1} = 4$

Question 25:

Evaluate: $\lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{1^{4} + 2^{4} + 3^{4} + . . . + n^{4}}{n^{5}} - \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{1^{3} + 2^{3} + . . . + n^{3}}{n^{5}}$

Answer:

Consider the identity

${(k + 1)}^{5} - k^{5} = 5 k^{4} + 10 k^{3} + 10 k^{2} + 5 k + 1$ .....(1)

Putting k = 1, 2, 3,..., n in (1) and then adding the equations, we have

${(n + 1)}^{5} - 1 = 5 \sum_{k = 1}^{n} k^{4} + 10 \sum_{k = 1}^{n} k^{3} + 10 \sum_{k = 1}^{n} k^{2} + 5 \sum_{k = 1}^{n} k + \sum_{k = 1}^{n} 1 \Rightarrow n^{5} + 5 n^{4} + 10 n^{3} + 10 n^{2} + 5 n = 5 \sum_{k = 1}^{n} k^{4} + \frac{10 n^{2} {(n + 1)}^{2}}{4} + \frac{10 n (n + 1) (2 n + 1)}{6} + \frac{5 n (n + 1)}{2} + n \Rightarrow 5 \sum_{k = 1}^{n} k^{4} = n^{5} + 5 n^{4} + 10 n^{3} + 10 n^{2} + 4 n - \frac{5 n^{2} {(n + 1)}^{2}}{2} - \frac{5 n (n + 1) (2 n + 1)}{3} - \frac{5 n (n + 1)}{2} \Rightarrow 5 \sum_{k = 1}^{n} k^{4} = n^{5} + \frac{5 n^{4}}{2} + \frac{5 n^{3}}{3} - \frac{n}{6}$

This expression on further simplification gives

$\sum_{k = 1}^{n} k^{4} = \frac{n (n + 1) (2 n + 1) (3 n^{2} + 3 n - 1)}{30}$

$∴ \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{1^{4} + 2^{4} + 3^{4} + . . . + n^{4}}{n^{5}} - \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{1^{3} + 2^{3} + . . . + n^{3}}{n^{5}} = \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{n (n + 1) (2 n + 1) (3 n^{2} + 3 n - 1)}{30 n^{5}} - \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{n^{2} {(n + 1)}^{2}}{4 n^{5}} = \frac{1}{30} \lim_{n \to \infty} (1 + \frac{1}{n}) (2 + \frac{1}{n}) (3 + \frac{3}{n} - \frac{1}{n^{2}}) - \frac{1}{4} \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{1}{n} {(1 + \frac{1}{n})}^{2} = \frac{1}{30} \times (1 + 0) \times (2 + 0) \times (3 + 0 - 0) - \frac{1}{4} \times 0 (\lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{1}{n} = \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{1}{n^{2}} = . . . = 0)$

Evaluate the following limits:

$\lim_{x \to π} \frac{1 - \sin \frac{x}{2}}{\cos \frac{x}{2} (\cos \frac{x}{4} - \sin \frac{x}{4})}$ [NCERT EXEMPLAR]

Answer:

$\lim_{x \to π} \frac{1 - \sin \frac{x}{2}}{\cos \frac{x}{2} (\cos \frac{x}{4} - \sin \frac{x}{4})}$

Put $x = π + h$

When $x \to π, h \to 0$

$∴ \lim_{x \to π} \frac{1 - \sin \frac{x}{2}}{\cos \frac{x}{2} (\cos \frac{x}{4} - \sin \frac{x}{4})} = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{1 - \sin (\frac{π + h}{2})}{\cos (\frac{π + h}{2}) [\cos (\frac{π + h}{4}) - \sin (\frac{π + h}{4})]} = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{1 - \sin (\frac{π}{2} + \frac{h}{2})}{\cos (\frac{π}{2} + \frac{h}{2}) [\cos (\frac{π}{4} + \frac{h}{4}) - \sin (\frac{π}{4} + \frac{h}{4})]} = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{1 - \cos (\frac{h}{2})}{- \sin (\frac{h}{2}) [(\cos \frac{π}{4} \cos \frac{h}{4} - \sin \frac{π}{4} \sin \frac{h}{4}) - (\sin \frac{π}{4} \cos \frac{h}{4} + \cos \frac{π}{4} \sin \frac{h}{4})]}$
$= \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{2 \sin^{2} \frac{h}{4}}{- 2 \sin \frac{h}{4} \cos \frac{h}{4} (\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \cos \frac{h}{4} - \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \sin \frac{h}{4} - \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \cos \frac{h}{4} - \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \sin \frac{h}{4})} = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{\sin \frac{h}{4}}{- \cos \frac{h}{4} \times (- \sqrt{2} \sin \frac{h}{4})} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \times \frac{1}{\lim_{h \to 0} \cos \frac{h}{4}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \times 1 (\lim_{θ \to 0} \cos θ = 1) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$
