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

Chain the tools: higher-order Taylor expansions, the 11^\infty exponential trick, and simultaneous value + slope matching for piecewise functions. Many are numerical-value (Section B).

  • sinx=xx36+x5120\sin x=x-\tfrac{x^3}{6}+\tfrac{x^5}{120}-\dots, cosx=1x22+x424\cos x=1-\tfrac{x^2}{2}+\tfrac{x^4}{24}-\dots, tanx=x+x33+\tan x=x+\tfrac{x^3}{3}+\dots, tan1x=xx33+\tan^{-1}x=x-\tfrac{x^3}{3}+\dots, sin1x=x+x36+\sin^{-1}x=x+\tfrac{x^3}{6}+\dots.
  • 1icos(kix)x22iki21-\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.
