MCQ
$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} \,\frac{{{\rm{ln}}\,(\cos x)}}{{{x^2}}}$ is equal to
  • A
    $0$
  • B
    $1$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{2}$
  • $ - \frac{1}{2}$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$ - \frac{1}{2}$
d
(d) Applying  $L-$ Hospital’s rule,

$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} \frac{{\ln (\cos x)}}{{{x^2}}}$$ = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} \frac{{ - \tan x}}{{2x}}$

$ = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} \frac{{ - {{\sec }^2}x}}{2} = \frac{{ - 1}}{2}$.
