Show answer and solution
lim⁡x→1\mspace2mu1−x+lnx1+cosπx=L\lim_{x \rightarrow 1}\mspace{2mu}\frac{1 - x + lnx}{1 + cos\pi x} = L
 Let
x=1+h;h→0x = 1 + h;h \rightarrow 0
L==lim⁡h→0\mspace2mu1−(1+h)+ln(1+h)1−cosπh⋅π2h2π2h2L = = \lim_{h \rightarrow 0}\mspace{2mu}\frac{1 - (1 + h) + ln(1 + h)}{1 - cos\pi h} \cdot \frac{\pi^{2}h^{2}}{\pi^{2}h^{2}}
L=2π2⋅lim⁡h→0\mspace2mu−h+ln(1+h)h2( as lim⁡h→0\mspace2muπ2h21−cosπh=2)L = \frac{2}{\pi^{2}} \cdot \lim_{h \rightarrow 0}\mspace{2mu}\frac{- h + ln(1 + h)}{h^{2}}\left( \ as\ \lim_{h \rightarrow 0}\mspace{2mu}\frac{\pi^{2}h^{2}}{1 - cos\pi h} = 2 \right)
Put in (1 + h) = t

L=2π2⋅lim⁡h→0\mspace2mut−(et−1)(et−1t)t2=−2π2⋅lim⁡h→0\mspace2muet−1−tt2=−2π2⋅12=−1π2L = \frac{2}{\pi^{2}} \cdot \lim_{h \rightarrow 0}\mspace{2mu}\frac{t - \left( e^{t} - 1 \right)}{\left( \frac{e^{t} - 1}{t} \right)t^{2}} = - \frac{2}{\pi^{2}} \cdot \lim_{h \rightarrow 0}\mspace{2mu}\frac{e^{t} - 1 - t}{t^{2}} = - \frac{2}{\pi^{2}} \cdot \frac{1}{2} = - \frac{1}{\pi^{2}}
∴∣[17L]=2\therefore \mid \lbrack 17L\rbrack = 2
