Question

Evaluate lim(x→0) x³/(1-cos2x)
Options
A 0
Correct Answer
B 4
C 16
D 8
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Since 1-cos2x ≈ 2x² for small x, the expression behaves like x³/(2x²)=x/2, which tends to 0 as x→0.

Hint

Use the small-angle approximation 1-cos(2x) ≈ 2x² to compare orders of magnitude.
