In this exercise we are going to compute limit as x goes to 0 of f of x over g of x, where f of x is 1 plus ln of 1 plus 6x squared minus cosine of 6x, and g of x is x squared.
00:23
Before we go on, let's compute some derivatives of f of x.
00:27
Well, f prime of x is just 12x over 1 plus 6x squared, the derivative of this guy, plus sine of 6x multiplied by 6, so just 6 sine of 6x, the derivative of this guy.
00:51
Now let's observe that the evaluation of this guy at 0, well, is just 0.
00:59
Perfect.
00:59
The evaluation of f at 0, well, the evaluation of f at 0 is 1 plus ln of 1, which is 0, minus 1, which is cosine of 0.
01:14
So f of 0 is 0.
01:16
Perfect.
01:17
These two equations here show that the taylor series of f centered at x equal to 0 is of this form.
01:30
We are going to have f double prime of 0 over 2 multiplied by x squared plus the third derivative of f at 0 over 3 factorial multiplied by x cubed and so on.
01:45
So basically, the taylor series of f is going to start with the second degree term.
01:53
Perfect.
01:54
And, well, at this point, what do we know? we know that limit as x goes to 0 of f of x over d of x, by using the taylor series of f and the taylor series of g, which is just g, well, this limit here is just going to be the coefficient of x squared here.
02:20
So f double prime of 0 over 2.
02:24
Because when we divide this taylor series by x squared, we are going to get f double prime of 0 over 2...
