Compute $limlimits_{xto0} left(sin x + cos xright)^{1/x}$












0












$begingroup$


I hit a snag while solving exponential functions whose limits are given.



Question:



$$lim_{xto0} left(sin x + cos xright)^left(1/xright)$$



My Approach:



I am using the followin relation to solve the question of these type.



$$lim_{xto0} left(1 + xright)^left(1/xright) = e qquad(2)$$



But now how should i convert my above question so that i can apply the rule as mentioned in $(2)$.



Conclusion:



First of all help will be appreciated.



Second how to solve functions of such kind in a quick method.



Thanks,



P.S.(Feel free to edit my question if you find any errors or mistakes in my question)

    @Crostul The LH step in this case would be absurd, as in every situation where one is after a limit $limlimits_{xto0}g(x)/x$ with $g$ differentiable at $0$ and $g(0)=0$.

    Because using LH to find $limlimits_{xto0} g(x)/h(x)$ when $g(0)=h(0)=0$ requires to compute $g'(0)$ and $h'(0)$. But, in the case when $h(x)=x$, one already knows that $limlimits_{xto0}g(x)/x=g'(0)$ by definition of the derivative of $g$ since $g(x)/x=(g(x)-g(0))/(x-0)$. So, invoking LH here amounts to a beautifully (?) absurd logical circle.

In this case the best idea is take logarithm, and then use De l'Hopital. $$lim_{x to 0} frac{ln (sin x + cos x)}{x} = lim_{x to 0} frac{cos x - sin x}{sin x + cos x} = 1$$ Hence the answer is $e^{1}=e$.

Alternatively, take $cos x$ out:
$$lim_{xto0} left(sin x + cos xright)^left(1/xright)=\
lim_{xto0} left(cos xright)^left(1/xright)cdot lim_{xto0} left(1+frac{sin x}{cos x}right)^left(1/xright)=\
color{blue}{lim_{xto0} left(1-2sin^2 frac x2right)^left(1/xright)}cdot color{red}{lim_{xto0} left(1+frac{sin x}{cos x}right)^left(1/xright)}=color{blue}1cdot color{red}e=e,$$
because using the relation you want:
$$color{blue}{lim_{xto0} left(1-2sin^2 frac x2right)^left(1/xright)=\
lim_{xto0} left[left(1+left(-2sin^2 frac x2right)right)^frac{1}{-2sin^2 frac x2}right]^{frac{-2sin^2 frac x2}{x}}=e^0=1};\
color{red}{lim_{xto0} left(1+frac{sin x}{cos x}right)^left(1/xright)=\
lim_{xto0} left[left(1+frac{sin x}{cos x}right)^{frac{cos x}{sin x}}right]^frac{sin x}{xcos x}=e^1=e}.$$

Another standard way works with enforcing a $color{red}{1}$ in the basis and considering the resulting exponent:



begin{eqnarray*} left(sin x + cos xright)^{1/x}
& = & left( color{red}{1} + (color{blue}{sin x + cos x - 1})right)^{1/x}\
& = & left (left( 1 + (color{blue}{sin x + cos x - 1})right)^{1/(color{blue}{sin x + cos x - 1})}right)^{frac{color{blue}{sin x + cos x - 1}}{x}} \
& stackrel {x to 0}{longrightarrow} & e^{lim_{xto 0}frac{sin x + cos x - 1}{x}}\
& = & e^{1+cos'(0)} = e \
end{eqnarray*}

    color{blue}{lim_{xto0} left(1-2sin^2 frac x2right)^left(1/xright)}cdot color{red}{lim_{xto0} left(1+frac{sin x}{cos x}right)^left(1/xright)}=color{blue}1cdot color{red}e=e,$$
    because using the relation you want:
    $$color{blue}{lim_{xto0} left(1-2sin^2 frac x2right)^left(1/xright)=\
    lim_{xto0} left[left(1+left(-2sin^2 frac x2right)right)^frac{1}{-2sin^2 frac x2}right]^{frac{-2sin^2 frac x2}{x}}=e^0=1};\
    color{red}{lim_{xto0} left(1+frac{sin x}{cos x}right)^left(1/xright)=\
    lim_{xto0} left[left(1+frac{sin x}{cos x}right)^{frac{cos x}{sin x}}right]^frac{sin x}{xcos x}=e^1=e}.$$

    Another standard way works with enforcing a $color{red}{1}$ in the basis and considering the resulting exponent:



    begin{eqnarray*} left(sin x + cos xright)^{1/x}
    & = & left( color{red}{1} + (color{blue}{sin x + cos x - 1})right)^{1/x}\
    & = & left (left( 1 + (color{blue}{sin x + cos x - 1})right)^{1/(color{blue}{sin x + cos x - 1})}right)^{frac{color{blue}{sin x + cos x - 1}}{x}} \
    & stackrel {x to 0}{longrightarrow} & e^{lim_{xto 0}frac{sin x + cos x - 1}{x}}\
    & = & e^{1+cos'(0)} = e \
    end{eqnarray*}

Inhaltsverzeichnis 1 Lage 2 Geschichte 3 Literatur 4 Weblinks Lage | Der etwa 90 Meter lange Ida-Boy-Ed-Garten befindet sich an der nördlichen Spitze der Altstadtinsel, vor dem Burgtor. Die in einem Bogen durch eine Grünanlage hangaufwärts führende Straße verbindet die Wakenitzmauer mit der Burgtorbrücke. Geschichte | Der heutige Ida-Boy-Ed-Garten wurde ursprünglich als Verlängerung der Wakenitzmauer angelegt. 1903 wurde in den erhaltenen Teil der mittelalterlichen Stadtmauer, an dem die Wakenitzmauer bei der Einmündung der Kaiserstraße begann, ein Tor mit einem großen Bogen für die Durchführung der Straße und zwei kleineren seitlichen Öffnungen für Fußgänger gebrochen, um für die neu errichteten Wohnhäuser in diesem Bereich
