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.
Let $ \mathbb{R} $ denote the set of all real numbers. Then the area of the region $$ \left\{ (x, y) \in \mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R} : x > 0, y > \frac{1}{x},\ 5x - 4y - 1 > 0,\ 4x + 4y - 17 < 0 \right\} $$ is
As shown in the figures, a uniform rod $ OO' $ of length $ l $ is hinged at the point $ O $ and held in place vertically between two walls using two massless springs of the same spring constant. The springs are connected at the midpoint and at the top-end $ (O') $ of the rod, as shown in Fig. 1, and the rod is made to oscillate by a small angular displacement. The frequency of oscillation of the rod is $ f_1 $. On the other hand, if both the springs are connected at the midpoint of the rod, as shown in Fig. 2, and the rod is made to oscillate by a small angular displacement, then the frequency of oscillation is $ f_2 $. Ignoring gravity and assuming motion only in the plane of the diagram, the value of $\frac{f_1}{f_2}$ 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.
