  1. Rewrite the expression in a convenient form

Let f(t)=t3+2t2+3sin⁡t.f(t)=t^3+2t^2+3\sin t.f(t)=t3+2t2+3sint. Then the given limit becomes lim⁡x→0(f(x+2cos⁡x)f(x+2))100x.\lim_{x\to 0}\left(\frac{f(x+2\cos x)}{f(x+2)}\right)^{\frac{100}{x}}.limx→0​(f(x+2)f(x+2cosx)​)x100​.

We need a limit of the form (1+small quantity)100x,\left(1+\text{small quantity}\right)^{\frac{100}{x}},(1+small quantity)x100​, so we first study the ratio inside the bracket near x=0x=0x=0.


  1. Expand the two inputs of fff near x=0x=0x=0

Using cos⁡x=1−x22+o(x2),\cos x = 1-\frac{x^2}{2}+o(x^2),cosx=1−2x2​+o(x2), we get x+2cos⁡x=x+2(1−x22+o(x2))=2+x−x2+o(x2).x+2\cos x = x+2\left(1-\frac{x^2}{2}+o(x^2)\right)=2+x-x^2+o(x^2).x+2cosx=x+2(1−2x2​+o(x2))=2+x−x2+o(x2). Also, x+2=2+x.x+2=2+x.x+2=2+x.

Hence, (x+2cos⁡x)−(x+2)=2cos⁡x−2=2(cos⁡x−1)=−x2+o(x2).(x+2\cos x)-(x+2)=2\cos x-2=2(\cos x-1)=-x^2+o(x^2).(x+2cosx)−(x+2)=2cosx−2=2(cosx−1)=−x2+o(x2). So the two arguments of fff differ only by order x2x^2x2.


  1. Compare f(x+2cos⁡x)f(x+2\cos x)f(x+2cosx) and f(x+2)f(x+2)f(x+2)

By differentiability of fff near 222, using linear approximation, f(x+2cos⁡x)−f(x+2)=f′(2)[(x+2cos⁡x)−(x+2)]+o(x2).f(x+2\cos x)-f(x+2)=f'(2)\big[(x+2\cos x)-(x+2)\big]+o(x^2).f(x+2cosx)−f(x+2)=f′(2)[(x+2cosx)−(x+2)]+o(x2). Since the difference of arguments is −x2+o(x2)-x^2+o(x^2)−x2+o(x2), we get f(x+2cos⁡x)−f(x+2)=O(x2).f(x+2\cos x)-f(x+2)=O(x^2).f(x+2cosx)−f(x+2)=O(x2).

Also, f(2)=23+2⋅22+3sin⁡2=16+3sin⁡2≠0.f(2)=2^3+2\cdot 2^2+3\sin 2=16+3\sin 2\neq 0.f(2)=23+2⋅22+3sin2=16+3sin2=0. Therefore, f(x+2cos⁡x)f(x+2)=1+O(x2).\frac{f(x+2\cos x)}{f(x+2)}=1+O(x^2).f(x+2)f(x+2cosx)​=1+O(x2).

So the given limit is of the type (1+O(x2))100x.\left(1+O(x^2)\right)^{\frac{100}{x}}.(1+O(x2))x100​.


  1. Take logarithm

Let L=lim⁡x→0(f(x+2cos⁡x)f(x+2))100x.L=\lim_{x\to 0}\left(\frac{f(x+2\cos x)}{f(x+2)}\right)^{\frac{100}{x}}.L=limx→0​(f(x+2)f(x+2cosx)​)x100​. Then ln⁡L=lim⁡x→0100xln⁡(1+O(x2)).\ln L=\lim_{x\to 0}\frac{100}{x}\ln\left(1+O(x^2)\right).lnL=limx→0​x100​ln(1+O(x2)). Using ln⁡(1+u)∼u(u→0),\ln(1+u)\sim u \quad (u\to 0),ln(1+u)∼u(u→0), with u=O(x2)u=O(x^2)u=O(x2), we get ln⁡(1+O(x2))=O(x2).\ln\left(1+O(x^2)\right)=O(x^2).ln(1+O(x2))=O(x2). Hence, ln⁡L=lim⁡x→0100x⋅O(x2)=lim⁡x→0O(x)=0.\ln L=\lim_{x\to 0}\frac{100}{x}\cdot O(x^2)=\lim_{x\to 0} O(x)=0.lnL=limx→0​x100​⋅O(x2)=limx→0​O(x)=0. Thus, L=e0=1.L=e^0=1.L=e0=1.
