Evaluate the following limits:

As we need to find


We can directly find the limiting value of a function by putting the value of the variable at which the limiting value is asked if it does not take any indeterminate form (0/0 or ∞/∞ or ∞-∞,1 .. etc.)


Let Z =


As it is taking indeterminate form-


we need to take steps to remove this form so that we can get a finite value.


Z =


Take the log to bring the power term in the product so that we can solve it more easily.


Taking log both sides-


log Z =


log Z =


{ log am = m log a}


using algebra of limits-


log Z =


log Z =


log Z =


As, 1-cos x = 2sin2(x/2)


log Z =


Let (x-1)/2 = y


As x1 y0


Z can be rewritten as


Log Z =


log Z =


Use the formula -


log Z =


log Z =


Z =


Hence,
