If the function f(x) = fractan(tan x) - sin(sin x)tan x - sin x is continuous at x = 0, then f(0) is equal to ________.

Numerical Answer Type:
Enter a numerical value Answer: 2 to 2 +4 marks

Solution & Explanation

### Related Formula For continuity at x=0, f(0) = lim_x to 0 f(x). ### Core Logic We need to evaluate the limit: lim_x rightarrow 0 fractan(tan x) - sin(sin x)tan x - sin x Adding and subtracting tan x inside the numerator: lim_x rightarrow 0 frac(tan(tan x) - tan x) + (tan x - sin x) + (sin x - sin(sin x))tan x - sin x Divide individual parts by x^3 across standard series layouts directly yields the combined fractional evaluation equal to 2. ### Step 1: Final Resolution The limit evaluates cleanly to 2. Therefore, for continuity, f(0) = 2. ### Pattern Recognition Expansion of expansion functions like tan(tan x) simplifies smoothly when paired strategically with basic structural Taylor series expansions. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Mathematics: Limits, Continuity and Differentiability

Q65 2025 Limits of Special Series
The value of lim_nto inftyleft(sum_K = 1^nfrack^3 + 6k^2 + 11k + 5(k + 3)!right) is:
  • A. \frac{4}{3}
  • B. 2
  • C. \frac{7}{3}
  • D. \frac{5}{3}

Solution

### Related Formula sum_k=1^infty left( frac1k! - frac1(k+3)! right) implies textTelescoping Series simplification ### Core Logic Rewrite the numerator polynomial to establish factor terms matching the factorial expansion base (k+3): k^3 + 6k^2 + 11k + 5 = (k^3 + 6k^2 + 11k + 6) - 1 = (k+1)(k+2)(k+3) - 1 ### Step 1: Simplify General Term T_k = frac(k+1)(k+2)(k+3)(k+3)! - frac1(k+3)! T_k = frac1k! - frac1(k+3)! This creates a clean telescoping layout format structure. ### Step 2: Sum the Series Writing out expanded \partial sums up to infinity: S = left( frac11! + frac12! + frac13! + frac14! + dots right) - left( frac14! + frac15! + frac16! + dots right) All higher terms cancel out systematically, leaving exactly the leading remaining fragments: S = frac11! + frac12! + frac13! = 1 + frac12 + frac16 = frac106 = frac53 ### Pattern Recognition Whenever factorials dominate fraction denominators, manipulate structural terms to align components via Telescoping sums (V_n - V_n-k). ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Mathematics: Limits, Continuity and Differentiability Class 11 Mathematics: Sequences and Series
