Teach me how to find the sided limites

OpenStudy (anonymous):

use l'hôpital's rule

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok let me see I I can do it by the l hopital's rule

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I still get something/0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

after applying l'hopital's rule

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im wrong sorry. Think it worked fine

OpenStudy (anonymous):

worked or not?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no. can you show me how to do it, please?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

after derivating numerator and denominator simultaneusly and three times I end up with 0/0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok let me see

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[ \cos(x) \approx 1 -\frac {x^2}2 \\ \text { near } zero \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Near zero \[ 1- \cos(x) \approx \frac {x^2} 2\\ \sqrt{1- \cos(x) }\approx \frac x {\sqrt 2} \] so \[ \frac {x} {\sqrt{1- \cos(x) }}\text { is like }\\ \sqrt 2 \] near zero. So the limit is \[\sqrt 2 \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I used the Taylor Expansions of cos(x) near zero \[ \cos(x)=\sum_{i=0}^\infty \frac{x^{2n}}{2n!}= 1-\frac {x^2}2 + \frac {x^4} {4!}- \cdots \]
