Written solution

Let f : (0,1) → R be the function defined as f(x) = √n if x ∈ [1/(n+1), 1/n) where n ∈ N. Let g : (0,1) → R be a function such that ∫(x²)ˣ √(1-t)/t dt < g(x) < 2√x for all x ∈ (0,1). Then lim(x → 0) f(x)g(x)

f(x)=n,x∈[1n+1,1n)f(x)=\sqrt{n},\quad x\in\left[\dfrac{1}{n+1},\dfrac{1}{n}\right)

∫x2x1−tt dt<g(x)<2x\displaystyle\int_{x^2}^{x}\sqrt{\dfrac{1-t}{t}}\,dt < g(x) < 2\sqrt{x}

lim⁡x→0f(x)g(x)=?\lim_{x\to0} f(x)g(x) = ?

2. upper bound: 2nx2.\ \text{upper bound: } 2\sqrt{nx}

3. lower bound: n I(x)3.\ \text{lower bound: } \sqrt{n}\,I(x)

n I(x)<f(x)g(x)<2nx,I(x)=∫x2x1−tt dt\sqrt{n}\,I(x) < f(x)g(x) < 2\sqrt{nx},\quad I(x)=\int_{x^2}^{x}\sqrt{\dfrac{1-t}{t}}\,dt

x∈[1n+1,1n)⇒1x−1≤n<1xx\in\left[\dfrac{1}{n+1},\dfrac{1}{n}\right) \Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{x}-1 \le n < \dfrac{1}{x}

⇒nx∈[1−x, 1)⇒nx→1\Rightarrow nx\in[1-x,\,1) \Rightarrow \sqrt{nx}\to 1

2nx→2⋅1=22\sqrt{nx} \to 2\cdot 1 = 2

∫1−tt dt=t(1−t)+sin⁡−1t\int\sqrt{\dfrac{1-t}{t}}\,dt = \sqrt{t(1-t)}+\sin^{-1}\sqrt{t}

I(x)=[t(1−t)+sin⁡−1t]x2xI(x) = \left[\sqrt{t(1-t)}+\sin^{-1}\sqrt{t}\right]_{x^2}^{x}

I(x)=2x−x+o(x)I(x) = 2\sqrt{x} - x + o(\sqrt{x})

n I(x)=2nx−xn+o(1)→2\sqrt{n}\,I(x) = 2\sqrt{nx} - x\sqrt{n} + o(1) \to 2

n I(x)→2,2nx→2\sqrt{n}\,I(x) \to 2,\qquad 2\sqrt{nx}\to 2

⇒lim⁡x→0f(x)g(x)=2\Rightarrow \lim_{x\to0} f(x)g(x) = 2

lim⁡x→0f(x)g(x)=2\lim_{x\to0}f(x)g(x) = 2
