Swap each of the four factors for its small-angle form, then compare the powers of x.
- Standard limits. As x → 0⁺, every inner quantity goes to 0. For a small u, each of tan u, tan⁻¹ u, ln(1+u) and eᵘ-1 behaves like u itself, because each ratio such as (tan u)/u tends to 1.
Factor Small quantity u Behaves like tan(5x^(1/3)) 5x^(1/3) 5x^(1/3) ln(1+3x²) 3x² 3x² (tan⁻¹ 3√x)² 3√x, then squared (3√x)² = 9x e^(5x^(4/3))-1 5x^(4/3) 5x^(4/3) - Powers of x. Numerator: 5x^(1/3) × 3x² = 15x^(7/3). Denominator: 9x × 5x^(4/3) = 45x^(7/3). The powers match, so x^(7/3) cancels.
lim(x → 0⁺) (15 x^(7/3))/(45 x^(7/3)) = 15/45 = 1/3
- So. The limit is 1/3, which is option (c).
The idea to keep. For a product of small-angle factors, replace each tan u, tan⁻¹ u, ln(1+u) and eᵘ-1 by u. Then check that the powers of x cancel and read off the constant.
