Step-by-Step Verified Solution

a=amp;lim⁡x→01+1+x4−2x4amp;=lim⁡x→01+x4−1x4(1+1+x4+2)amp;=lim⁡x→0x4x4(1+1+x4+2)(1+x4+1)\begin{aligned}a= & \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sqrt{1+\sqrt{1+x^4}}-\sqrt{2}}{x^4} \\& =\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sqrt{1+x^4}-1}{x^4\left(\sqrt{1+\sqrt{1+x^4}}+\sqrt{2}\right)} \\& =\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{x^4}{x^4\left(\sqrt{1+\sqrt{1+x^4}}+\sqrt{2}\right)\left(\sqrt{1+x^4}+1\right)}\end{aligned}

Applying limit a=142\mathrm{a}=\frac{1}{4 \sqrt{2}}

amp;b=lim⁡x→0sin⁡2x2−1+cos⁡xamp;=lim⁡x→0(1−cos⁡2x)(2+1+cos⁡x)2−(1+cos⁡x)amp;b=lim⁡x→0(1+cos⁡x)(2+1+cos⁡x)\begin{aligned}& b=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin ^2 x}{\sqrt{2}-\sqrt{1+\cos x}} \\& =\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\left(1-\cos ^2 x\right)(\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{1+\cos x})}{2-(1+\cos x)} \\& b=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0}(1+\cos x)(\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{1+\cos x})\end{aligned}

Applying limits b=2(2+2)=42b=2(\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{2})=4 \sqrt{2}

Now, ab3=142×(42)3=32a b^3=\frac{1}{4 \sqrt{2}} \times(4 \sqrt{2})^3=32
