\(\displaystyle\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{x\cos^{2}x}{\sin x}\) is equal to

  • A.4
  • B.2
  • C.-2
  • D.0
  • E.1

Answer: E

The limit is 1.

\[ \begin{aligned} \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{x\cos^{2}x}{\sin x} &= \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{x}{\sin x} \cdot \cos^{2}x \\ &= 1 \times 1 \\ &= 1 \end{aligned} \]

0 would come from substituting \(x = 0\) in the numerator only, ignoring that the denominator also tends to 0, and 2 or 4 have no basis in the standard limit.
