Question
Evaluate the following limit: $\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}(\cos\text{x}+\sin\text{x})^{\frac{1}{\text{x}}}$

Answer

$\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}(\cos\text{x}+\sin\text{x})^{\frac{1}{\text{x}}}$ $=\ \lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}(1+(\cos\text{x}+\sin\text{x}-1))^{\frac{1}{\text{x}}}$ $=\text{e}^{\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}\frac{(\cos\text{x}+\sin\text{x}-1)}{\text{x}}}$ $=\text{e}^{\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}\frac{(\sin\text{x}-(1-\cos\text{x}))}{\text{x}}}$ $=\text{e}^{\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}\frac{\big(\sin\text{x}-2\sin^2\big(\frac{\text{x}}{2}\big)\big)}{\text{x}}}$ $=\text{e}^{\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}\frac{\sin\text{x}}{\text{x}}-\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}\frac{2\sin\big(\frac{\text{x}}{2}\big)\sin\big(\frac{\text{x}}{2}\big)}{2\big(\frac{\text{x}}{2}\big)}}$ $=\text{e}^{\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}\frac{\sin\text{x}}{\text{x}}-\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}\frac{2\sin\big(\frac{\text{x}}{2}\big)\sin\big(\frac{\text{x}}{2}\big)}{\big(\frac{\text{x}}{2}\big)}}$ $=\text{e}^{1-0}$ $=\text{e}$
