If _ x arrow 0 ( (2 x)+a (4 x)-b)/(x^4) is finite, then (a+b) is...

If lim⁡x→0cos⁡(2x)+acos⁡(4x)−bx4\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\cos (2 x)+a \cos (4 x)-b}{x^4} is finite, then (a+b)(a+b) is equal to :

Options

  1. A12\frac{1}{2}
  2. B00
  3. C34\frac{3}{4}
  4. D−1-1

Correct answer

A. 12\frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step solution

lim⁡x→0cos⁡2x+acos⁡4x−bx4=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\cos 2 x+a \cos 4 x-b}{x^4}= finiteL={1−(2x)22‾+(2x)44‾⋯ }}+a{1−(4x)22‾+(4x)4⌊4…⋅}−bx4L=(1+a−b)−x2(2+8a)+x4(23+323a)+x6()…x4\begin{aligned} & L=\frac{\left\{1-\frac{(2 x)^2}{\underline{2}}+\frac{(2 x)^4}{\underline{4} \cdots\}\}+a\left\{1-\frac{(4 x)^2}{\underline{2}}+\frac{(4 x)^4}{\lfloor 4} \ldots \cdot\right\}-b}\right.}{x^4} \\ & L=\frac{(1+a-b)-x^2(2+8 a)+x^4\left(\frac{2}{3}+\frac{32}{3} a\right)+x^6() \ldots}{x^4}\end{aligned}∴1+a−b=0 and 2+8a=0⇒a=−14b=a+1=−14+1=34∴a+b=−14+34=12\begin{aligned} & \therefore 1+\mathrm{a}-\mathrm{b}=0 \text{ and } 2+8 \mathrm{a}=0 \Rightarrow \mathrm{a}=-\frac{1}{4} \\ & \mathrm{ b}=\mathrm{a}+1 \\ & =-\frac{1}{4}+1=\frac{3}{4} \\ & \therefore \mathrm{a}+\mathrm{b}=-\frac{1}{4}+\frac{3}{4}=\frac{1}{2}\end{aligned}$
