Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

[d] Consider $ \underset{x\to \infty }{\mathop{\lim }}[ \frac{x^{100}}{e^{x}}+{{( \cos \frac{2}{x} )}^{x^{2}}} ] $

$ =\underset{x\to \infty }{\mathop{\lim }}\frac{x^{100}}{e^{x}}+\underset{x\to \infty }{\mathop{\lim }}{{[ \cos ( \frac{2}{x} ) ]}^{x^{2}}} $

$ =\underset{x\to \infty }{\mathop{\lim }}\frac{x^{100}}{e^{x}}=0(usingL’Hopsital’srule) $ and $ \underset{x\to \infty }{\mathop{\lim }}{{( \cos \frac{2}{x} )}^{x^{2}}} $ is of $ ({1^{\infty }}) $ form $ ={e^{\underset{x\to \infty }{\mathop{\lim }}x^{2}( \cos \frac{2}{x}-1 )}} $

$ ={e^{\underset{t\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\frac{4}{t^{2}}(cost-1)}} $

$ ( Put\frac{2}{x}=t\Rightarrow x=\frac{2}{t} ) $

$ ={e^{-\underset{t\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}( \frac{1-\cos t}{t^{2}} ).4}}={e^{-\underset{t\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}( \frac{\sin t}{2t} )4}}={e^{-2}} $
