How do I solve:



$$
lim_x to 0left[1 - xarctanleft(nxright)right]^, 1/x^2
$$



I know the answer is $e^-n$ for every n > 1, but for the life of me I have no idea how to actually get to that answer. Am I supposed to use a common limit or any theorem? Also, why isn't the limit equal to 1?



Thanks.

You can do it the following way:



$$
lim_xto 0 (1-xarctan(nx))^1/x^2 = lim_xto 0 e^log((1-xarctan(nx))^1/x^2)
$$



doing some algebra on the exponent:
$$
lim_xto 0 exp(log((1-xarctan(nx))^1/x^2)) = lim_xto 0 expleft(fraclog((1-xarctan(nx))x^2)right)
$$



by limit rules:



$$
lim_xto 0 expleft(fraclog((1-xarctan(nx))x^2)right) =expleft[ lim_xto 0 left(fraclog((1-xarctan(nx))x^2)right)right]
$$



apply L'Hospital's rule and after some algebra you should get:
$$
expleft[- fracn+lim_xto 0 fracarctan(nx)x+n^2lim_xto 0 xarctan(nx)2right]
$$



simplifying



$$
expleft(-fracn+n+n^22right) = e^-n
$$

      Noting that $u=xarctan nxto0$ and $(arctan nx)/xto n$ as $xto 0$, we have



      $$(1-xarctan nx)^1/x^2=((1-xarctan nx)^1/(xarctan nx))^(arctan nx)/x=((1-u)^1/u)^(arctan nx)/xto (e^-1)^n=e^-n$$



      using the general limit property $lim f(x)^g(x)=(lim f(x))^lim g(x)$, provided $lim f(x)$ and $lim g(x)$ both exist (with $lim f(x)ge0$) and are not both $0$.

                            Noting that $u=xarctan nxto0$ and $(arctan nx)/xto n$ as $xto 0$, we have



                            $$(1-xarctan nx)^1/x^2=((1-xarctan nx)^1/(xarctan nx))^(arctan nx)/x=((1-u)^1/u)^(arctan nx)/xto (e^-1)^n=e^-n$$



                            using the general limit property $lim f(x)^g(x)=(lim f(x))^lim g(x)$, provided $lim f(x)$ and $lim g(x)$ both exist (with $lim f(x)ge0$) and are not both $0$.
