Visualized Solution

The Limit Problem

  • Given limit:
  • We need to evaluate the behavior of this function as approaches .

Evaluating Numerator at

  • Substitute into the numerator.
  • The integral with identical upper and lower limits is .

Evaluating Denominator at

  • Substitute into the denominator.
  • Both numerator and denominator approach .

The Form

  • The limit evaluates to the indeterminate form .
  • This indicates we can use L'Hôpital's Rule.
  • L'Hôpital's Rule: Differentiate numerator and denominator separately.

Leibniz Integral Rule

  • To differentiate the numerator, we need the Leibniz Rule.
  • Here, and .

Applying Leibniz Rule

  • Differentiate:
  • Substitute :
  • Multiply by derivative of :
  • Result:

Product Rule for Denominator

  • Differentiate:
  • Use Product Rule:
  • Let and .

After L'Hôpital's Rule

  • Substitute the derivatives back into the limit.
  • If we substitute now, we still get .

Dividing by

  • To simplify, divide both numerator and denominator by .
  • Numerator:
  • Denominator:

Ready for Evaluation

  • The limit is now:
  • We can now evaluate the limit of the numerator and denominator separately.

Final Numerator Limit

  • Evaluate:
  • Substitute :
  • Since , the value is .

Final Denominator Limit

  • Evaluate:
  • Use standard limit:
  • Evaluate cosine:
  • Total denominator:

The Final Result

  • Combine the evaluated limits.
  • The correct option is 1.

Analyzing the Setup

We are tasked with evaluating the following limit:
As , the upper limit of the integral approaches . Since the integral of a finite function from to is , and the denominator also approaches , we have identified the classic indeterminate form.

The Leibniz Revelation

To resolve this, we apply L'Hôpital's Rule, which requires differentiating the numerator and the denominator. For the numerator, we utilize the Leibniz Integral Rule:
Here, and . Applying this rule, the derivative of the numerator becomes:

The Product Rule Dance

Next, we differentiate the denominator using the Product Rule:
Substituting these derivatives back into our limit, we obtain:

The Art of Simplification

Substituting at this stage still yields . Instead of differentiating again, we simplify the expression by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by :
We now apply the fundamental trigonometric limit . As , we observe that and .

The Final Victory

Substituting these values into our simplified expression, we get:
The complexity of the original expression has dissolved, revealing the final result. The value of the limit is .
