Question

Use l’Hôpital’s rule to determine the value of

limx0sin2xxln(1+x).

Markscheme

* This question is from an exam for a previous syllabus, and may contain minor differences in marking or structure.

attempt to use l’Hôpital’s rule,     M1

limit=limx02sinxcosxln(1+x)+x1+xorsin2xln(1+x)+x1+x     A1A1

 

Note:     Award A1 for numerator A1 for denominator.

 

this gives 0/0 so use the rule again     (M1)

=limx02cos2x2sin2x11+x+1+xx(1+x)2or2cos2x2+x(1+x)2     A1A1

 

Note:     Award A1 for numerator A1 for denominator.

 

=1     A1

 

Note:     This A1 is dependent on all previous marks being awarded, except when the first application of L’Hopital’s does not lead to 0/0, when it should be awarded for the correct limit of their derived function.
