$$ lim_{n to infty} frac{1 +cn^2}{(2n+3 + 2 sin n)^2} = ? $$
if I factor the $n^2$ out of denominator,
$$ lim_{n to infty} frac{ 1 + cn^2}{ n^2 ( 2 + 3n^{-1} + 2 frac{ sin n}{n} )^2}$$
And take limit directly, I get the answer as
$$ frac{c}{4}$$
However, If I apply l’hopital rule, Iget
$$ lim_{ n to infty} frac{ 2cn}{2 (2n + 3 + 2 sin n)( 2 + 2 cos n)} $$
However this new limit gives a different value than original according to wolfram.. and neither am I able to compute it by hand, what am I missing?
Some people say of limit existing and not existing, but then suppose
$$ lim_{x to 0} frac{1}{x} = infty$$
Does this limit exist? how do you define a limit to be existing as in what is sufficent condition for it
The rule of L'Hospital states that the limit of $dfrac fg$ equals that of $dfrac{f'}{g'}$ if the latter exists. You precisely found a case where this does not hold.
We can simplify the example as
$$lim_{ntoinfty}frac{n+sin n}n=1$$
but
$$lim_{ntoinfty}frac{1+cos n}1$$ is undefined.
