calculus - Indetermination in limit of integral limxrightarrow0(intsinx0ext2dtbig/inttanx0ext2dt)




I would like to evaluate the following limit
limx0sinx0ext2dttanx0ext2dt



In order to use L'Hospital's rule I obviously need derivatives with respect to x. With this including x as a parameter in the upper integration limits, I can reduce the limit to
limx0exsin2xcosx+sinx0t2ext2dtextan2xcos2x+tanx0(t2)ext2dt



I'm not sure if I'm approaching this in the correct way; so my questions are




  1. Am I using L'Hospital's rule correctly in the above? If so


  2. How should I proceed from now on? I feel a little stuck.



Any help is greatly appreciated.


Answer



Yes the derivatives of the numerator and denominator are correct (e.g. from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leibniz_integral_rule). And because the integrals in the new quotient go to 0 as x0, you can simply plug-in x=0 and get the limit 11
