Quick Recap — Multi-concept Limits & Differentiability (JEE Main level)

Chain the tools: higher-order Taylor expansions, the 1∞1^\infty exponential trick, and simultaneous value + slope matching for piecewise functions. Many are numerical-value (Section B).

  • sin⁡x=x−x36+x5120−…\sin x=x-\tfrac{x^3}{6}+\tfrac{x^5}{120}-\dots, cos⁡x=1−x22+x424−…\cos x=1-\tfrac{x^2}{2}+\tfrac{x^4}{24}-\dots, tan⁡x=x+x33+…\tan x=x+\tfrac{x^3}{3}+\dots, tan⁡−1x=x−x33+…\tan^{-1}x=x-\tfrac{x^3}{3}+\dots, sin⁡−1x=x+x36+…\sin^{-1}x=x+\tfrac{x^3}{6}+\dots.
  • 1−∏icos⁡(kix)≈x22∑iki21-\prod_{i}\cos(k_i x)\approx\tfrac{x^2}{2}\sum_i k_i^2; differentiability of ∣f∣|f| fails where ff changes sign.
