Can you explain how you would use Taylor expansion to compute limits? An example is lim x->0 cubic root(1+x)-1/root 5 (1-x)-1. Is there a step-by-step method to compute any limit?

Step 1
We have: lim x->0 (cubic root(1+x) - 1) / (root 5 (1-x) - 1) Show more…

The limit of an indeterminate form as $x \rightarrow x_{0}$ can sometimes be found by expanding the functions involved in Taylor series about $x=x_{0}$ and taking the limit of the series term by term. Use this method to find the limits in these exercises. $$ \text { (a) } \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{1-\cos x}{\sin x} \quad \text { (b) } \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\ln \sqrt{1+x}-\sin 2 x}{x} $$
