Apply Limit Properties: To solve the limit of cos(4x)−1 as x approaches 0, we can use the limit properties and the fact that the limit of cos(x) as x approaches 0 is 1.
Find Limit of −1: We know that the limit of a constant is the constant itself, so the limit of −1 as x approaches 0 is −1.
Substitute x with 0: Now, we need to find the limit of cos(4x) as x approaches 0. Since the cosine function is continuous everywhere, we can directly substitute the value of x with 0 in cos(4x).
Calculate cos(0): Substituting x with 0 in cos(4x) gives us cos(0), which is equal to 1.
Combine Limits: Now, we combine the limits of cos(4x) and −1. Since the limit of cos(4x) as x approaches 0 is 1, and the limit of −1 is −1, we have:Limit as x approaches 0 of −10.
Calculate Final Result: Calculating 1−1 gives us 0.
