The answer is 5.
Given:
\(\beta = \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{e^{x^3} - (1 - x^3)^{\frac{1}{3}} + \left( (1 - x^2)^{\frac{1}{2}} - 1 \right) \sin x}{x \sin^2 x}\)
1. Examine \(e^{x^3}\):
For \(x \to 0\),
\(e^{x^3} \approx 1 + x^3 \quad \text{(ignoring higher-order terms)}\)
2. Examine \((1 - x^3)^{\frac{1}{3}}\):
Using the binomial approximation for small x,
\((1 - x^3)^{\frac{1}{3}} \approx 1 - \frac{x^3}{3}\)
3. Examine \((1 - x^2)^{\frac{1}{2}}\):
Using the binomial approximation,
\((1 - x^2)^{\frac{1}{2}} \approx 1 - \frac{x^2}{2}\) So,
\((1 - x^2)^{\frac{1}{2}} - 1 \approx - \frac{x^2}{2}\)
4. Examine sin x:
For small x,
\(\sin x \approx x\)
Now, substitute these approximations back into the original limit expression:
\(e^{x^3} \approx 1 + x^3\)
\((1 - x^3)^{\frac{1}{3}} \approx 1 - \frac{x^3}{3}\)
\((1 - x^2)^{\frac{1}{2}} - 1 \approx - \frac{x^2}{2}\)
\(\sin x \approx x\)
Now compute the numerator:
\(e^{x^3} - (1 - x^3)^{\frac{1}{3}} + \left( (1 - x^2)^{\frac{1}{2}} - 1 \right) \sin x\)
\(\approx (1 + x^3) - \left(1 - \frac{x^3}{3}\right) + \left(- \frac{x^2}{2}\right) x\)
\(\approx 1 + x^3 - 1 + \frac{x^3}{3} - \frac{x^3}{2}\)
\(\approx x^3 + \frac{x^3}{3} - \frac{x^3}{2}\)
\(= x^3 \left(1 + \frac{1}{3} - \frac{1}{2}\right)\)
\(= x^3 \left(\frac{6}{6} + \frac{2}{6} - \frac{3}{6}\right)\)
\(= x^3 \left(\frac{5}{6}\right)\)
For the denominator:
\(x \sin^2 x \approx x \cdot x^2 = x^3\)
Thus, the limit becomes:
\(\beta = \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\frac{5}{6} x^3}{x^3} = \frac{5}{6}\)
Therefore, the value of \(6\beta\) is:
\(6\beta = 6 \times \frac{5}{6} = 5\)
So, the answer is 5.
The center of a disk of radius $ r $ and mass $ m $ is attached to a spring of spring constant $ k $, inside a ring of radius $ R>r $ as shown in the figure. The other end of the spring is attached on the periphery of the ring. Both the ring and the disk are in the same vertical plane. The disk can only roll along the inside periphery of the ring, without slipping. The spring can only be stretched or compressed along the periphery of the ring, following Hooke’s law. In equilibrium, the disk is at the bottom of the ring. Assuming small displacement of the disc, the time period of oscillation of center of mass of the disk is written as $ T = \frac{2\pi}{\omega} $. The correct expression for $ \omega $ is ( $ g $ is the acceleration due to gravity): 
Let $ a_0, a_1, ..., a_{23} $ be real numbers such that $$ \left(1 + \frac{2}{5}x \right)^{23} = \sum_{i=0}^{23} a_i x^i $$ for every real number $ x $. Let $ a_r $ be the largest among the numbers $ a_j $ for $ 0 \leq j \leq 23 $. Then the value of $ r $ is ________.
Fundamental Theorem of Calculus is the theorem which states that differentiation and integration are opposite processes (or operations) of one another.
Calculus's fundamental theorem connects the notions of differentiating and integrating functions. The first portion of the theorem - the first fundamental theorem of calculus – asserts that by integrating f with a variable bound of integration, one of the antiderivatives (also known as an indefinite integral) of a function f, say F, can be derived. This implies the occurrence of antiderivatives for continuous functions.
