Math Problem Statement

Which of the following limits is of indeterminate form?

Solution

Let's analyze the limits provided in Question 11 to determine which one is of indeterminate form. The question asks which limit results in an indeterminate form, commonly 00\frac{0}{0}, \frac{\infty}{\infty}, or similar.

Here are the options with analysis:

  1. limx0exsin(x)\lim_{x \to 0} e^x \sin(x)

    • As x0x \to 0, ex1e^x \to 1 and sin(x)0\sin(x) \to 0.
    • Therefore, exsin(x)10=0e^x \sin(x) \to 1 \cdot 0 = 0.
    • This limit is not indeterminate, it evaluates to 0.
  2. limx0cos(x)x\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\cos(x)}{x}

    • As x0x \to 0, cos(x)1\cos(x) \to 1, and the denominator x0x \to 0.
    • This forms a 10\frac{1}{0} type, which is not indeterminate but tends to infinity.
    • So, this is not an indeterminate form.
  3. limx0+sin(x)ln(x)\lim_{x \to 0^+} \sin(x) \ln(x)

    • As x0+x \to 0^+, sin(x)0\sin(x) \to 0 and ln(x)\ln(x) \to -\infty.
    • This forms 0()0 \cdot (-\infty), which is indeterminate because the product of 0 and infinity is not immediately clear.
    • This is an indeterminate form.
  4. limx0cos(x)1ex\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\cos(x) - 1}{e^x}

    • As x0x \to 0, cos(x)10\cos(x) - 1 \to 0 and ex1e^x \to 1.
    • This forms 01\frac{0}{1}, which equals 0.
    • Therefore, this is not indeterminate.

Conclusion:

The third option limx0+sin(x)ln(x)\lim_{x \to 0^+} \sin(x) \ln(x) is the indeterminate form.
