Limit of \( \displaystyle \frac{e^{4 x} - 1}{\sin{\left(2 x \right)}} \) as \( x \to 0 \)

Problem 1.232 · medium

Evaluate \( \displaystyle \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{e^{4 x} - 1}{\sin{\left(2 x \right)}} \).
  1. \[ \lim_{x \to 0^+}\left(\frac{e^{4 x} - 1}{\sin{\left(2 x \right)}}\right) \]
    limitStart with the limit of the given function.✓ Proved
  2. \[ = \lim_{x \to 0^+}\left(\frac{\frac{d}{d x} \left(e^{4 x} - 1\right)}{\frac{d}{d x} \sin{\left(2 x \right)}}\right) \]
    lhopitalApply L'Hôpital's rule because the limit is an indeterminate form 0/0.✓ Proved
  3. \[ = \lim_{x \to 0^+}\left(\frac{2 e^{4 x}}{\cos{\left(2 x \right)}}\right) \]
    simplify simplify limitCompute the derivatives in the numerator and denominator. Simplify the fraction by canceling the common factor of 2. The expression is now continuous at x = 0.✓ Proved
  4. \[ = 2 \]
    substitution simplify simplifySubstitute x = 0 into the expression. Evaluate the exponential and trigonometric functions at 0. Final result.✓ Proved

  • qwen3.6:27b-mlx: pass 2026-10-05 — The solution correctly applies L'Hôpital's rule, computes the derivatives, simplifies the resulting expression, and evaluates the limit by substitution. Each step changes only one aspect of the expression and uses an appropriate label from the fixed vocabulary.

Proved: SymPy reduced the difference between the two sides to zero. Checked independently: a separate method, named above, confirmed it. Checked numerically: the two sides agree at every sampled point, which is evidence, not proof. Reviewed: a model or a person read it; that is all a sentence can have. Solution by gemma4:26b, checked 2026-10-05 with SymPy 1.14.0.
