MCQ
$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 1} \frac{{\sqrt {1 - \cos 2(x - 1)} }}{{x - 1}}$
  • A
    Exists and it equals $\sqrt 2 $
  • B
    Exists and it equals $ - \sqrt 2 $
  • C
    Does not exist because $x - 1 \to 0$
  • Does not exist because left hand limit is not equal to right hand limit

Answer

Correct option: D.
Does not exist because left hand limit is not equal to right hand limit
d
(d) $f(1 + ) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} f(1 + h) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} \,\,\frac{{\sqrt {1 - \cos \,\,2h} }}{h}$
$ = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} \,\sqrt 2 \frac{{\sin \,h}}{h} = \sqrt 2 $
$f(1 - ) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} f(1 - h) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} \,\,\frac{{\sqrt {1 - \cos \,( - 2h)} }}{{ - h}}$
$ = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} \,\sqrt 2 \frac{{\sin \,h}}{{ - h}} = - \sqrt 2 .$
$\therefore $ limit does not exist because left hand limit is not equal to right hand limit.
