Evaluate the Limit limit as x approaches 0 of 1+sin(4x)^(cot(x))
limx01+sin(4x)cot(x)
Step 1
Set up the limit as a left-sided limit.
limx0-1+sin(4x)cot(x)
Step 2
Evaluate the limits by plugging in the value for the variable.

Step 2.1
Evaluate the limit of 1+sin(4x)cot(x) by plugging in 0 for x.
1+sin(40)cot(0)
Step 2.2
Rewrite cot(0) in terms of sines and cosines.
1+sin(40)cos(0)sin(0)
Step 2.3
The exact value of sin(0) is 0.
1+sin(40)cos(0)0
Step 2.4
Since 1+sin(40)cos(0)0 is undefined, the limit does not exist.
Does not exist
Does not exist
Step 3
Set up the limit as a right-sided limit.
limx0+1+sin(4x)cot(x)
Step 4

Step 4.1.1
Split the limit using the Sum of Limits Rule on the limit as x approaches 0.
limx0+1+limx0+sin(4x)cot(x)
Step 4.1.2
Evaluate the limit of 1 which is constant as x approaches 0.
1+limx0+sin(4x)cot(x)
1+limx0+sin(4x)cot(x)
Step 4.2
Use the properties of logarithms to simplify the limit.

Step 4.2.1
Rewrite sin(4x)cot(x) as eln(sin(4x)cot(x)).
1+limx0+eln(sin(4x)cot(x))
Step 4.2.2
Expand ln(sin(4x)cot(x)) by moving cot(x) outside the logarithm.
1+limx0+ecot(x)ln(sin(4x))
1+limx0+ecot(x)ln(sin(4x))
Step 4.3
Since the exponent cot(x)ln(sin(4x)) approaches -, the quantity ecot(x)ln(sin(4x)) approaches 0.
1+0
Step 4.4
Add 1 and 0.
1
1
Step 5
If either of the one-sided limits does not exist, the limit does not exist.
