lim_(x→∞)  ((cos^2 x−x)/(1−2x))

$$\underset{{x}\rightarrow\infty} {\mathrm{lim}}\:\frac{\mathrm{cos}^{\mathrm{2}} \mathrm{x}−\mathrm{x}}{\mathrm{1}−\mathrm{2x}} \\ $$

let f(x)=((cos^2 x−x)/(1−2x)) ⇒ for x ≠0  we have f(x)=((x−cos^2 x)/(2x−1))  =((x(1−((cos^2 x)/x)))/(x(2−(1/x)))) =((1−((cos^2 x)/x))/(2−(1/x)))  but lim_(x→+∞)    ((cos^2 x)/x) =0 becsuse ∣cosx∣≤1  lim_(x→+∞)  (1/x) =0 ⇒lim_(x→+∞) f(x)=(1/2)

$${let}\:{f}\left({x}\right)=\frac{{cos}^{\mathrm{2}} {x}−{x}}{\mathrm{1}−\mathrm{2}{x}}\:\Rightarrow\:{for}\:{x}\:\neq\mathrm{0}\:\:{we}\:{have}\:{f}\left({x}\right)=\frac{{x}−{cos}^{\mathrm{2}} {x}}{\mathrm{2}{x}−\mathrm{1}} \\ $$$$=\frac{{x}\left(\mathrm{1}−\frac{{cos}^{\mathrm{2}} {x}}{{x}}\right)}{{x}\left(\mathrm{2}−\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{x}}\right)}\:=\frac{\mathrm{1}−\frac{{cos}^{\mathrm{2}} {x}}{{x}}}{\mathrm{2}−\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{x}}}\:\:{but}\:{lim}_{{x}\rightarrow+\infty} \:\:\:\frac{{cos}^{\mathrm{2}} {x}}{{x}}\:=\mathrm{0}\:{becsuse}\:\mid{cosx}\mid\leqslant\mathrm{1} \\ $$$${lim}_{{x}\rightarrow+\infty} \:\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{x}}\:=\mathrm{0}\:\Rightarrow{lim}_{{x}\rightarrow+\infty} {f}\left({x}\right)=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$

≡lim_(x→∞)  ((−x)/(−2x))=(1/2)

$$\equiv{lim}_{{x}\rightarrow\infty} \:\frac{−{x}}{−\mathrm{2}{x}}=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$
