To demonstrate a method for computing the limit itself, let's pick a small value of n. If n = 3, then our limit is

\displaystyle \lim_{x \to 0 } \frac{1 - \prod \limits_{k = 2}^{3} \sqrt[k]{\cos(kx)} }{ {x}^{2} }

Let a = 1 and b the cosine product, and write them as

\dfrac{a - b}{x^2}

with

b = \sqrt{\cos(2x)} \sqrt[3]{\cos(3x)} = \sqrt[6]{\cos^3(2x)} \sqrt[6]{\cos^2(3x)} = \left(\cos^3(2x) \cos^2(3x)\right)^{\frac16}

Now we use the identity

a^n-b^n = (a-b)\left(a^{n-1}+a^{n-2}b+a^{n-3}b^2+\cdots a^2b^{n-3}+ab^{n-2}+b^{n-1}\right)

to rationalize the numerator. This gives

\displaystyle \frac{a^6-b^6}{x^2 \left(a^5+a^4b+a^3b^2+a^2b^3+ab^4+b^5\right)}

As x approaches 0, both a and b approach 1, so the polynomial in a and b in the denominator approaches 6, and our original limit reduces to

\displaystyle \frac16 \lim_{x\to0} \frac{1-\cos^3(2x)\cos^2(3x)}{x^2}

For the remaining limit, use the Taylor expansion for cos(x) :

\cos(x) = 1 - \dfrac{x^2}2 + \mathcal{O}(x^4)

where \mathcal{O}(x^4) essentially means that all the other terms in the expansion grow as quickly as or faster than x⁴; in other words, the expansion behaves asymptotically like x⁴. As x approaches 0, all these terms go to 0 as well.

Then

\displaystyle \cos^3(2x) \cos^2(3x) = \left(1 - 2x^2\right)^3 \left(1 - \frac{9x^2}2\right)^2

\displaystyle \cos^3(2x) \cos^2(3x) = \left(1 - 6x^2 + 12x^4 - 8x^6\right) \left(1 - 9x^2 + \frac{81x^4}4\right)

\displaystyle \cos^3(2x) \cos^2(3x) = 1 - 15x^2 + \mathcal{O}(x^4)

so in our limit, the constant terms cancel, and the asymptotic terms go to 0, and we end up with

\displaystyle \frac16 \lim_{x\to0} \frac{15x^2}{x^2} = \frac{15}6 = \frac52

Unfortunately, this doesn't agree with the limit we want, so n ≠ 3. But you can try applying this method for larger n, or computing a more general result.

Edit: some scratch work suggests the limit is 10 for n = 6.

6. Regroup the numbers in the following problems, putting the numbers that add up to 10 or a multiple of 10 in parentheses.
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

a) (2+8)+9

b) (3+7)+5+4

c) (4+16)+2

d) (31+9)+4

Step-by-step explanation:

a) 2+9+8

2 and 8 add up to 10, so we regroup them in parentheses

(2+8)+9


b) 3 + 5 + 4 + 7

3 and 7 add up to 10, so we regroup them in parentheses

(3+7)+5+4


c) 4 + 2 + 16

4 and 16 add up to 20 which is a multiple of 10, so we regroup them in parentheses

(4+16)+2


d) 31 + 4 + 9

31 and 9 add up to 40 which is a multiple of 10, so we regroup them in parentheses

(31+9)+4
