The Sigma Insight: Evaluation of Limits & L'Hopital's Rule

Analyzing the Setup

The problem presents the following limit:
This expression involves a mix of trigonometric functions, a logarithmic term, and a squared tangent in the denominator. To solve this, we must systematically simplify the components using series expansions.

The Denominator's Secret

The first rule of limit evaluation is to simplify the denominator. As , the function behaves asymptotically like .
Mathematically, we use the approximation . Therefore, the denominator simplifies to:
This serves as our anchor. It dictates that the numerator must also be of order for the limit to converge to a non-zero finite value.

The Power of Taylor Series

To analyze the numerator, we employ Maclaurin series expansions. We expand each term up to the power, as higher-order terms will vanish when divided by :

The Logic of Finite Limits

Substituting these expansions into the numerator, we obtain:
Grouping the terms by powers of , we get:
For the limit to be finite, the coefficients of the constant term and the term must be zero. This yields the system:

Final Calculation

With and , we verify the coefficient of the term:
The limit becomes:
This confirms our values are correct. Finally, we calculate the requested value:
