The given expression involves a limit:

$\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\ln(\cos(5x))}{\ln(\cos(4x))}$

To evaluate this limit, we can use series expansion or L'Hopital's Rule, as the direct substitution of $x = 0$ results in an indeterminate form $\frac{0}{0}$.

Steps for solving:

1. Apply Taylor series expansion for small $x$:

   For small values of $x$, the Taylor expansion for $\cos(x)$ around $x = 0$ is: $\cos(x) \approx 1 - \frac{x^2}{2}$

   Applying this to $\cos(5x)$ and $\cos(4x)$, we get: $\cos(5x) \approx 1 - \frac{(5x)^2}{2} = 1 - \frac{25x^2}{2}$ $\cos(4x) \approx 1 - \frac{(4x)^2}{2} = 1 - \frac{16x^2}{2}$

2. Logarithmic approximation:

   Using the approximation $\ln(1 - u) \approx -u$ for small $u$, we can approximate the logarithms: $\ln(\cos(5x)) \approx -\frac{25x^2}{2}, \quad \ln(\cos(4x)) \approx -\frac{16x^2}{2}$

3. Simplifying the ratio:

   Now, substitute these approximations into the original limit expression: $\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\ln(\cos(5x))}{\ln(\cos(4x))} \approx \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{-\frac{25x^2}{2}}{-\frac{16x^2}{2}} = \frac{25}{16}$

Conclusion:

The value of the limit is: $\boxed{\frac{25}{16}}$

2. Can we use L'Hopital's rule in this case, and how would it apply?
3. How does the approximation $\ln(1 - u) \approx -u$ work for small values of $u$?
4. What are other common limits involving trigonometric functions?
5. Can you extend this problem to higher powers of $x$ in the cosine expansions?

Tip: Taylor expansions are a powerful tool for approximating functions near specific points, particularly when dealing with indeterminate forms in limits.
