Math Problem Statement
Solution
The limit in the image you've provided is:
To evaluate this limit, let's break it down:
-
As , the term approaches 0, since any small positive value raised to the power of 5 will approach 0.
-
The term oscillates between -1 and 1 as , because the cosine function always stays between -1 and 1 regardless of the input.
-
The product of a term approaching 0 () and a bounded term () will approach 0, since the zero factor dominates.
Thus, the limit is:

Tip: When evaluating limits involving oscillating functions, focus on the behavior of other parts of the expression that tend toward a specific value (like 0) as they can "cancel out" the effect of oscillations.
