tough calculus Problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\lim_{x \rightarrow 0}(1/x^3)\int\limits_{0}^{x}(t \ln (1+t))/(t^4+4)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can any one answer this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:/ That looks impossible. Sorry!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol IK

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is this calculas?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think that's the point, the integral is unsolvable but it doesn't matter. As x->0 the integral goes to zero because it is over the interval 0 to 0. Also 1/(x^3) goes to 1/0 as x->0. So you get 0/0. So your limit is 1

I get 1/12...using L'hospitals rule
