IGDTUW | Mathematics | 2025Evaluate: limx→0sin22x1−cosxcos2xcos3x
Choose the correct answer:
- A.
37
- B.
47
(Correct Answer) - C.
57
47
Explanation
Step 1: Simplify the Denominator
sin22x≈(2x)2=4x2
Step 2: Simplify the Numerator
Using the expansion for each cosine term:
cosxcos2xcos3x≈(1−2x2)(1−2(2x)2)(1−2(3x)2)
≈(1−2x2)(1−2x2)(1−29x2)
Multiplying these out and ignoring terms with higher powers (like x4 or x6 since they go to zero faster):
≈1−(21+2+29)x2
≈1−(21+4+9)x2=1−7x2
Now, substitute this back into the numerator:
1−cosxcos2xcos3x≈1−(1−7x2)=7x2
Step 3: Apply the Limit
x→0lim4x27x2=47
The correct option is (b) 47.
