TOMATO, Problem 694
Challenges and Thrills in Pre College Mathematics
There are four options ,at first we have to check each options.....
If k is divisible by 24 then cos(kπ/4) = cos(kπ/6) = 1
\(\Rightarrow\) The limit exists and equal to RHS i.e. 0
If k is not divisible by 4 or 6 then cos(kπ/4), cos(kπ/6) both <1
Can you now finish the problem ..........
Therefore ,
lim cosn(kπ/4), cosn(kπ/6) = 0. so we may say that
\(\Rightarrow \)The equation holds.
