We'll notice that we can't use the product law here (the
limit of a product is the product of limits).
According to
the rule, limit of cos(2/x) does not exist, if x tends to
0.
By definition:
-1
=< cos (2/x) =< 1
If we'll multiply the
inequality above, by x^4, because x^4 is a positive amount, for any value of x, the
inequality still holds.
-x^4 =< (x^4)*cos (2/x)
=< x^4
We'll calculate the limits of the
ends:
If we'll calculate lim x^4 = lim -x^4 =
0.
Now, we'll apply the Squeeze Theorem and we'll get
:
lim -x^4 =< lim (x^4)*cos (2/x) =< lim
x^4
0=< lim (x^4)*cos (2/x)
=<0
So, the limit of the
function (x^4)*cos (2/x) is 0, when x ->
0.
