limx→1cos (x2-1)-1ex-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
=limx→1-2x sin (x2-1)ex-1-1 A1A1
Note: Award A1 for the numerator and A1 for the denominator.
substitution of 1 into their expression (M1)
=00 hence use l’Hôpital’s rule again
Note: If the first use of l’Hôpital’s rule results in an expression which is not in indeterminate form, do not award any further marks.
attempt to use product rule in numerator M1
=limx→1-4x2 cos (x2-1)-2 sin (x2-1)ex-1 A1
=-4 A1
