The correct Answer is:
To find the limit \[ \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\ln(1+x^2)}{\cos(3x) - e^{-x}}, \] we will apply L'Hospital's Rule since the limit results in the indeterminate form \( \frac{0}{0} \). ### Step 1: Check the form of the limit First, we substitute \( x = 0 \) into the function: - The numerator: \[ \ln(1 + 0^2) = \ln(1) = 0. \] - The denominator: \[ \cos(3 \cdot 0) - e^{-0} = \cos(0) - 1 = 1 - 1 = 0. \] Since both the numerator and denominator approach 0, we have the indeterminate form \( \frac{0}{0} \). ### Step 2: Apply L'Hospital's Rule According to L'Hospital's Rule, we differentiate the numerator and the denominator separately. - Differentiate the numerator: \[ \frac{d}{dx} \ln(1+x^2) = \frac{1}{1+x^2} \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(1+x^2) = \frac{1}{1+x^2} \cdot 2x = \frac{2x}{1+x^2}. \] - Differentiate the denominator: \[ \frac{d}{dx}(\cos(3x) - e^{-x}) = -3\sin(3x) - (-e^{-x}) = -3\sin(3x) + e^{-x}. \] ### Step 3: Rewrite the limit Now we can rewrite the limit using the derivatives: \[ \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\frac{2x}{1+x^2}}{-3\sin(3x) + e^{-x}}. \] ### Step 4: Substitute \( x = 0 \) again Now we substitute \( x = 0 \) into the new limit: - The new numerator: \[ \frac{2 \cdot 0}{1 + 0^2} = 0. \] - The new denominator: \[ -3\sin(3 \cdot 0) + e^{-0} = -3 \cdot 0 + 1 = 1. \] Thus, we have: \[ \frac{0}{1} = 0. \] ### Final Answer Therefore, the limit is: \[ \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\ln(1+x^2)}{\cos(3x) - e^{-x}} = 0. \]
