Step-by-Step Verified Solution

The Taylor series for exe^x , cos⁡x\cos x , and e−xe^{-x} around x=0x=0 are:

eax=1+ax+(ax)22!+…,e^{ax} = 1 + ax + \frac{(ax)^2}{2!} + \ldots,

cos⁡(bx)=1−(bx)22!+…,\cos(bx) = 1 - \frac{(bx)^2}{2!} + \ldots,

e−cx=1−cx+(cx)22!−….e^{-cx} = 1 - cx + \frac{(cx)^2}{2!} - \ldots.

Substituting these into the limit and simplifying:

lim⁡x→0(1+ax+(ax)22!)−(1−(bx)22!)−cx2(1−(cx)+(cx)22!)1−cos⁡2x.\lim\limits_{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{(1+ax+\frac{(ax)^2}{2!})-(1-\frac{(bx)^2}{2!})-\frac{cx}{2}(1-(cx)+\frac{(cx)^2}{2!})}{1-\cos 2x}.

This simplifies to:

lim⁡x→0(a−c2)x+(a2+b2+c22)x2+…(1−cos⁡2x(2x)2)×4x2.\lim\limits _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{(a-\frac{c}{2})x + (\frac{a^2+b^2+c^2}{2})x^2 + \ldots}{\left(\frac{1-\cos 2 x}{(2 x)^2}\right) \times 4 x^2}.

Let's evaluate this expression:

(1−cos⁡2x(2x)2)×4x2.(\frac{1-\cos 2x}{(2x)^2}) \times 4x^2.

We know that 1−cos⁡2x1 - \cos 2x can be rewritten using the double-angle formula for cosine, which is cos⁡2x=1−2sin⁡2x\cos 2x = 1 - 2\sin^2x . So, 1−cos⁡2x=2sin⁡2x1 - \cos 2x = 2\sin^2x .

Substituting this into our expression we get:

(2sin⁡2x(2x)2)×4x2.(\frac{2\sin^2x}{(2x)^2}) \times 4x^2.

This simplifies to:

12{1 \over 2} (sin⁡xx)2×4x2=12×4x2=2x2.(\frac{\sin x}{x})^2 \times 4x^2 = {1 \over 2} \times 4x^2 = 2x^2.

So,

(1−cos⁡2x(2x)2)×4x2=2x2.(\frac{1-\cos 2x}{(2x)^2}) \times 4x^2 = 2x^2.

∴\therefore lim⁡x→0(a−c2)x+(a2+b2+c22)x2+…2x2=17.\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{(a-\frac{c}{2})x + (\frac{a^2+b^2+c^2}{2})x^2 + \ldots}{2x^2} = 17.

Now, for the limit to exist, the coefficient of xx in the numerator must be zero, as the limit would be undefined otherwise. This gives us the equation:

a−c2=0⇒c=2a.a-\frac{c}{2} = 0 \Rightarrow c=2a.

Then, for the limit to equal 1717 , the coefficient of x2x^2 in the numerator must equal 17×2=3417 \times 2 = 34 . This gives us the equation:

a2+b2+c22=34⇒a2+b2+c2=68.\frac{a^2+b^2+c^2}{2} = 34 \Rightarrow a^2+b^2+c^2 = 68.

Since c=2ac=2a , we can substitute cc in the equation to get:

a2+b2+(2a)2=68⇒5a2+b2=68.a^2 + b^2 + (2a)^2 = 68 \Rightarrow 5a^2 + b^2 = 68.
