Limits, Continuity and Differentiability
For a real number $\alpha$, let $[\alpha]$ denote the greatest integer less than or equal to $\alpha$. For a finite set $S$, let $|S|$ denote the number of elements in the set $S$.
Consider the functions $f:(-3,3) \rightarrow(-\infty, \infty)$ and $g:(-3,3) \rightarrow(-\infty, \infty)$ defined by
$ f(x)=\left[x^3\right] \log _e\left(1+\sin ^2(\pi(x-[x]))\right) $
and
$ g(x)=x^3 \sin ^2\left(\pi \log _e(1+x-[x])\right) . $
Let
$ A=\{x \in(-3,3): f \text { is discontinuous at } x\} $
and
$ B=\{x \in(-3,3): g \text { is discontinuous at } x\} . $
Then the value of $|A|+2|B|-|A \cap B|$ is $\_\_\_\_$ .
Explanation:
We are given:
$ f(x) = [x^3] \log \left(1 + \sin^2(\pi(x - [x]))\right) $
and
$ g(x) = x^3 \sin^2\left(\pi \log_e(1 + x - [x])\right) ,$
for $x \in (-3,3)$.
Simplify the expressions
Since $(x - [x])$ represents the fractional part of $x$, we can replace it by $\{x\}$. Then, because $\sin(\pi(x - [x])) = \sin(\pi x)$, we have
$ f(x) = [x^3] \log(1 + \sin^2 \pi x). $
Here, $[x^3]$ is the greatest integer less than or equal to $x^3$, and the fraction part repeats every integer shift in $x$. So $f(x)$ behaves differently in each interval between consecutive integers.
Determine where $f(x)$ is discontinuous
The expression $\log(1 + \sin^2 \pi x)$ is always continuous and periodic. The only chance of discontinuity comes from $[x^3]$ because it jumps whenever $x^3$ crosses an integer.
Since $x \in (-3,3)$, $x^3$ takes values from $-27$ to $27$. The integers in this range are from $-26$ to $26$, a total of $53$ integers. Whenever $x^3$ equals one of these integers, $[x^3]$ changes value.
At points where $x^3$ is an integer, $f(x)$ is likely discontinuous, except possibly where $\log(1 + \sin^2 \pi x) = 0$. That happens when $\sin \pi x = 0$, i.e., when $x$ is an integer.
Therefore, $f(x)$ is continuous at $x = -2, -1, 0, 1, 2$ but discontinuous where $x^3$ is an integer and $x$ is not an integer. So, out of 53 points, 5 are continuous, giving:
$ |A| = 53 - 5 = 48. $
Determine where $g(x)$ is discontinuous
We have
$ g(x) = x^3 \sin^2\left(\pi \log(1 + \{x\})\right). $
Here $\{x\} = x - [x]$, which is continuous everywhere except at integers. The function $\log(1 + \{x\})$ is defined for $\{x\} \in [0,1)$, so it is continuous within all open intervals between integers.
At integer values of $x$, $\{x\}$ jumps from $1^-$ to $0$, leading to discontinuities. So $g(x)$ is discontinuous only at integer points within $(-3,3)$, i.e., $x = -2, -1, 0, 1, 2$.
However, checking $x=0$, we find $g(0) = 0$, and the limit from both sides is also $0$, making it continuous at $x=0$. Hence, discontinuities are at $x = \pm 1, \pm 2$.
Thus, $|B| = 4$.
Intersection of discontinuities
Since $f(x)$ is continuous at $x = \pm 1, \pm 2$, none of these belong to both $A$ and $B$.
Hence, $|A \cap B| = 0.$
Final computation
$ |A| + 2|B| - |A \cap B| = 48 + 8 - 0 = 56. $
Consider the function $f:\left(-\frac{\pi}{2},\frac{\pi}{2}\right) \to (-\infty, \infty)$ defined by
$f(x) = (|x| + |x-1|) \sin x + \left[ x \sin x \right],$
where $\left[ x \sin x \right]$ is the greatest integer less than or equal to $x \sin x$.
Let $\alpha$ be the total number of points in the interval $\left(-\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right)$ at which $f$ is NOT continuous, and let $\beta$ be the total number of points in the interval $\left(-\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right)$ at which $f$ is NOT differentiable.
Then the value of $\alpha + \beta$ is ____________.
Explanation:
Let us write the function as $ f(x) = g(x) + h(x) $, where
$ g(x) = (|x| + |x - 1|)\sin x $ and $ h(x) = [x \sin x] $.
Check continuity of $ g(x) $
The expression $ |x| + |x - 1| $ is made up of absolute value functions. Absolute value functions are always continuous, and sine is also continuous. Therefore, $ g(x) $ is continuous for all $ x $ in $ \left(-\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right) $.
Check continuity of $ h(x) = [x \sin x] $
The greatest integer function $ [x \sin x] $ is discontinuous whenever $ x \sin x $ takes an integer value, because the value jumps at those points. So we must find where $ x \sin x $ equals an integer.
Case (i): $ x \sin x = 0 \Rightarrow x = 0 $
At $ x = 0 $, the function $ h(x) = [x \sin x] $ does not actually jump, so it is continuous at $ x = 0 $. Hence, $ f(x) $ is continuous there.
Case (ii): $ x \sin x = 1 \Rightarrow x = x_1 $ and because $ x \sin x $ is even, we also have another point $ x = -x_1 $.
Just before $ x_1 $, $ [x \sin x] = 0 $; just after $ x_1 $, $ [x \sin x] = 1 $. So there is a jump at $ x = x_1 $ and at $ x = -x_1 $.
Therefore, $ f(x) $ is not continuous at $ x = x_1 $ and $ x = -x_1 $.
Hence, $ \alpha = 2 $.
Check differentiability
We already know $ f(x) $ is not continuous at $ x = x_1, -x_1 $, so it cannot be differentiable there either.
We must also test $ x = 0 $ and $ x = 1 $, since $ g(x) $ involves absolute values and these points can cause problems with slope.
At $ x = 0 $:
$ f'(0^-) = f'(0^+) = 1 $, hence $ f(x) $ is differentiable at $ x = 0 $.
At $ x = 1 $:
$ f'(1^-) = \cos 1 $ and $ f'(1^+) = \cos 1 + 2\sin 1 $
Since these two are not equal, $ f(x) $ is not differentiable at $ x = 1 $.
Therefore, the points of non-differentiability are $ x = x_1, -x_1 $, and $ 1 $.
Hence, $ \beta = 3 $.
Final Answer:
$ \alpha + \beta = 5 $

Let $S$ be the set of all $(\alpha, \beta) \in \mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R}$ such that
$ \lim\limits_{x \rightarrow \infty} \frac{\sin \left(x^2\right)\left(\log _e x\right)^\alpha \sin \left(\frac{1}{x^2}\right)}{x^{\alpha \beta}\left(\log _e(1+x)\right)^\beta}=0 . $

Then, the value of $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{n \to \infty } f\left( n \right)$ is equal to :
$ \beta=\lim \limits_{x \to 0} \frac{e^{x^{3}}-\left(1-x^{3}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}}+\left(\left(1-x^{2}\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}-1\right) \sin x}{x \sin ^{2} x}, $
then the value of $6 \beta$ is ___________.
Explanation:
Given,
$\beta = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} {{{e^{{x^3}}} - {{(1 - {x^3})}^{{1 \over 3}}} + ({{(1 - {x^2})}^{{1 \over 2}}} - 1)\sin x} \over {x{{\sin }^2}x}}$
$ = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} {{(1 + {x^3}\, + \,...) - \left( {1 - {{{x^3}} \over 3}\, + \,...} \right) + \left( {\left( {1 - {1 \over 2}{x^2}\, + \,...} \right) - 1} \right)x} \over {x\,.\,{{{{\sin }^2}x} \over {{x^2}}}\,.\,{x^2}}}$
$ = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} {{\left( {{x^3} + {{{x^3}} \over 3} - {{{x^3}} \over 2}} \right) + {x^4}(......)} \over {{x^3}}}$
$ = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} {{{x^3}\left( {1 + {1 \over 3} - {1 \over 2}} \right)} \over {{x^3}}}$ [Neglecting higher power of x]
$ = 1 + {1 \over 3} - {1 \over 2} = {5 \over 6}$
$\therefore$ $6\beta = 6 \times {5 \over 6} = 5$
$ f(x)=\sin \left(\frac{\pi x}{12}\right) \quad \text { and } \quad g(x)=\frac{2 \log _{\mathrm{e}}(\sqrt{x}-\sqrt{\alpha})}{\log _{\mathrm{e}}\left(e^{\sqrt{x}}-e^{\sqrt{\alpha}}\right)} . $
Then the value of $\lim \limits_{x \rightarrow \alpha^{+}} f(g(x))$ is
Explanation:
$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {\alpha ^ + }} f(g(x)) = f\left( {\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {\alpha ^ + }} g(x)} \right)$ [As $f(x)$ is continuous function so we can write this]
Now,
$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {\alpha ^ + }} g(x)$
$ = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {\alpha ^ + }} {{2{{\log }_e}(\sqrt x - \sqrt \alpha )} \over {{{\log }_e}\left( {{e^{\sqrt x }} - {e^{\sqrt \alpha }}} \right)}}$
$ = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {\alpha ^ + }} {{2{{\log }_e}(\sqrt x - \sqrt \alpha )} \over {{{\log }_e}\left( {{e^{\sqrt \alpha }}\left( {{{{e^{\sqrt x }}} \over {{e^{\sqrt \alpha }}}} - 1} \right)} \right)}}$
$ = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {\alpha ^ + }} {{2{{\log }_e}(\sqrt x - \sqrt \alpha )} \over {{{\log }_e}\left[ {{e^{\sqrt \alpha }}({e^{\sqrt x - \sqrt \alpha }} - 1)} \right]}}$
$ = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {\alpha ^ + }} {{2{{\log }_e}(\sqrt x - \sqrt \alpha )} \over {{{\log }_e}{e^{\sqrt \alpha }} + {{\log }_e}({e^{\sqrt x - \sqrt \alpha }} - 1)}}$
$ = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {\alpha ^ + }} {{2{{\log }_e}(\sqrt x - \sqrt \alpha )} \over {\sqrt \alpha + {{\log }_e}\left[ {{{{e^{\sqrt x - \sqrt \alpha }} - 1} \over {(\sqrt x - \sqrt \alpha )}} \times (\sqrt x - \sqrt \alpha )} \right]}}$
$ = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {\alpha ^ + }} {{2{{\log }_e}(\sqrt x - \sqrt \alpha )} \over {\sqrt \alpha + {{\log }_e}\left[ {\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {\alpha ^ + }} \left( {{{{e^{\sqrt x - \sqrt \alpha }} - 1} \over {(\sqrt x - \sqrt \alpha )}} \times (\sqrt x - \sqrt \alpha )} \right)} \right]}}$
$ = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {\alpha ^ + }} {{2{{\log }_e}(\sqrt x - \sqrt \alpha )} \over {\sqrt \alpha + {{\log }_e}(1 \times \sqrt x - \sqrt \alpha )}}$ [using $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} {{{e^2} - 1} \over x} = 1$]
$ = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {\alpha ^ + }} {{2{{\log }_e}(\sqrt x - \sqrt \alpha )} \over {\sqrt \alpha + {{\log }_e}(\sqrt x - \sqrt \alpha )}}$
$ = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {\alpha ^ + }} {2 \over {{{\sqrt \alpha } \over {{{\log }_e}(\sqrt x - \sqrt \alpha )}} + 1}}$

From graph you can see $\log _e^{{0^ + }} \to \, - \alpha $
$\therefore$ $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {\alpha ^ + }} {\log _e}(\sqrt x - \sqrt \alpha ) = \log _e^{{0^ + }} = - \alpha $
$ = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {\alpha ^ + }} {2 \over {{{\sqrt \alpha } \over { - \alpha }} + 1}}$
$ = {2 \over {0 + 1}}$
$ = 2$
$\therefore$ $f\left( {\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {\alpha ^ + }} g(x)} \right) = f(2) = \sin \left( {{{\pi \times 2} \over {12}}} \right) = \sin {\pi \over 6} = {1 \over 2}$
Then which of the following statements is (are) TRUE?
Explanation:
As, we know the composite function (fog) (x) is discontinuous at the points, where g(x) is discontinuous for given domain. And, since g(x) is discontinuous at x = 0 lies in interval ($-$1, 1), so value of c = 1.
And, since (fog) (x) is not differentiable at the point where g(x) is not differentiable as well as at those points also where g(x) attains the values so that f(g(x)) is non-differentiable.
Since g(x) is not continuous at x = 0$ \in $ ($-$1, 1) so fog(x) is not differentiable and as $f(x) = |2x - 1| + |2x + 1|$ is not differentiable at x = $-$1/2 and 1/2, so (fog) (x) is not differentiable for those x, for which g(x) = $-$1/2 or 1/2.
But g(x) $ \ge $ 0, so g(x) can be 1/2 only and for x = $-$1/2 and 1/2, g(x) = ${1 \over 2}$.
So, (fog) (x) is not differentiable at x = $-$1/2, 0, 1/2, therefore value of d = 3
$ \therefore $ c + d = 1 + 3 = 4.
$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {\pi \over 2}} {{4\sqrt 2 (\sin 3x + \sin x)} \over {\left( {2\sin 2x\sin {{3x} \over 2} + \cos {{5x} \over 2}} \right) - \left( {\sqrt 2 + \sqrt 2 \cos 2x + \cos {{3x} \over 2}} \right)}}$

$ = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {\pi \over 2}} {{4\sqrt 2 \sin 2x\cos x} \over {\sin 2x\left( {\sin {{3x} \over 2} - \sin {x \over 2}} \right) - \sqrt 2 {{\cos }^2}x}}$
$ = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {\pi \over 2}} {{4\sqrt 2 \sin 2x\cos x} \over {2\sin 2x\cos x\sin {x \over 2} - \sqrt 2 {{\cos }^2}x}}$
$ = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {\pi \over 2}} {{4\sqrt 2 \sin 2x} \over {2\sin 2x\sin {x \over 2} - \sqrt 2 \cos x}}$
$ = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {\pi \over 2}} {{8\sqrt 2 \sin x} \over {4\sin x\sin {x \over 2} - \sqrt 2 }}$
$ = {{8\sqrt 2 } \over {{4 \over {\sqrt 2 }} - \sqrt 2 }} = {{16} \over {4 - 2}} = 8$

Explanation:
$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {0^ + }} {{{{(1 - x)}^{1/x}} - {e^{ - 1}}} \over {{x^a}}}$

Explanation:
$ = {({\log _2}9)^{{{2.{{\log }_2}} \over {{{\log }_2}9}}}} \times {7^{{1 \over 2}.{{\log }_7}4}}$
$ = {({\log _2}9)^{{{\log }_{\log {2^{{9^{{2^2}}}}}}}}} \times {7^{{{\log }_7}2}}$
$ = {2^2} \times 2 = 8$
If $f\left( {{\pi \over 6}} \right) = - {\pi \over {12}}$, then which of the following statement(s) is (are) TRUE?
If $g(x) = \int\limits_x^{\pi /2} {[f'(t)\text{cosec}\,t - \cot t\,\text{cosec}\,t\,f(t)]dt} $
for $x \in \left( {0,\,{\pi \over 2}} \right]$, then $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} g(x)$ =
Explanation:
Let $g(x) = \int\limits_x^{\pi /2} {[f'(t)\text{cosec}\,t - \cot t\,\text{cosec}\,t\,f(t)]dt} $
$ = \int\limits_x^{\pi /2} {{d \over {dt}}(f(t)\cos ect))} $
So, $g(x) = f(\pi /2)\cos ec{\pi \over 2} - f(x)\cos ecx$
$ = 3 - f(x)\cos ecx$
$\therefore$ $g(x) = 3 - {{f(x)} \over {\sin x}}$
$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} g(x) = 3 - \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} {{f(x)} \over {\sin x}}$
As the above is a 0/0 form, use L'Hospital's rule to get
$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} g(x) = 3 - \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} {{f'(x)} \over {\cos x}} = 3 - f'(0) = 3 - 1 = 2$
for x $ \ne $ 1. Then
Let $\alpha$, $\beta$ $\in$ R be such that $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} {{{x^2}\sin (\beta x)} \over {\alpha x - \sin x}} = 1$. Then 6($\alpha$ + $\beta$) equals _________.
Explanation:
Here, $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} {{{x^2}\sin (\beta x)} \over {\alpha x - \sin x}} = 1$
$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} {{{x^2}\left( {\beta x - {{{{(\beta x)}^3}} \over {3!}} + {{{{(\beta x)}^5}} \over {5!}} - ....} \right)} \over {\alpha x - \left( {x - {{{x^3}} \over {3!}} + {{{x^5}} \over {5!}} - ....} \right)}} = 1$
$ \Rightarrow \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} {{{x^3}\left( {\beta - {{{\beta ^3}{x^2}} \over {3!}} + {{{\beta ^5}{x^4}} \over {5!}} - ....} \right)} \over {(\alpha - 1)x + {{{x^3}} \over {3!}} + {{{x^5}} \over {5!}} - ...}} = 1$
Limit exists only, when $\alpha$ $-$ 1 = 0
$\Rightarrow$ $\alpha$ = 1 ...... (i)
$\therefore$ $ \Rightarrow \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} {{{x^3}\left( {\beta - {{{\beta ^3}{x^2}} \over {3!}} + {{{\beta ^5}{x^4}} \over {5!}} - ....} \right)} \over {{x^3}\left( {{1 \over {3!}} - {{{x^2}} \over {5!}} - ...} \right)}} = 1$
$\Rightarrow$ 6$\beta$ = 1 ....... (ii)
From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
6($\alpha$ + $\beta$) = 6$\alpha$ + 6$\beta$
= 6 + 1
= 7
Let a, b $\in$ R and f : R $\to$ R be defined by $f(x) = a\cos (|{x^3} - x|) + b|x|\sin (|{x^3} + x|)$. Then f is
Let $f:\left[ { - {1 \over 2},2} \right] \to R$ and $g:\left[ { - {1 \over 2},2} \right] \to R$ be function defined by $f(x) = [{x^2} - 3]$ and $g(x) = |x|f(x) + |4x - 7|f(x)$, where [y] denotes the greatest integer less than or equal to y for $y \in R$. Then
Explanation:
Given, $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{\alpha \to 0} \left[ {{{{e^{\cos ({\alpha ^n})}} - e} \over {{\alpha ^m}}}} \right] = - {e \over 2}$
$ \Rightarrow \mathop {\lim }\limits_{\alpha \to 0} {{e\{ {e^{\cos ({\alpha ^n}) - 1}} - 1\} } \over {\cos ({\alpha ^n}) - 1}}.{{\cos ({\alpha ^n}) - 1} \over {{\alpha ^m}}} = {{ - e} \over 2}$
$ \Rightarrow \mathop {\lim }\limits_{\alpha \to 0} e\left\{ {{{{e^{\cos ({\alpha ^n}) - 1}} - 1} \over {\cos ({\alpha ^n}) - 1}}} \right\}.\mathop {\lim }\limits_{\alpha \to 0} {{ - 2{{\sin }^2}{{{\alpha ^n}} \over 2}} \over {{\alpha ^m}}} = - e/2$
$ \Rightarrow e \times 1 \times ( - 2)\mathop {\lim }\limits_{\alpha \to 0} {{{{\sin }^2}\left( {{{{\alpha ^n}} \over 2}} \right)} \over {{{{\alpha ^{2n}}} \over 4}}}.{{{\alpha ^{2n}}} \over {4{\alpha ^m}}} = {{ - e} \over 2}$
$ \Rightarrow e \times 1 \times - 2 \times 1 \times \mathop {\lim }\limits_{\alpha \to 0} {{{\alpha ^{2n - m}}} \over 4} = {{ - e} \over 2}$
For this to be exists,
$2n - m = 0 \Rightarrow {m \over n} = 2$
Let $g:R \to R$ be a differentiable function with $g(0) = 0$, $g'(0) = 0$ and $g'(1) \ne 0$. Let
$f(x) = \left\{ {\matrix{ {{x \over {|x|}}g(x),} & {x \ne 0} \cr {0,} & {x = 0} \cr } } \right.$
and $h(x) = {e^{|x|}}$ for all $x \in R$. Let $(f\, \circ \,h)(x)$ denote $f(h(x))$ and $(h\, \circ \,f)(x)$ denote $f(f(x))$. Then which of the following is (are) true?
Explanation:
$ \Rightarrow \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 1} {\left\{ {{{{{\sin (x - 1)} \over {(x - 1)}} - a} \over {1 + {{\sin (x - 1)} \over {(x - 1)}}}}} \right\}^{1 + \sqrt x }} = {1 \over 4}$
$ \Rightarrow {\left( {{{1 - a} \over 2}} \right)^2} = {1 \over 4}$
$ \Rightarrow {(a - 1)^2} = 1$
$\Rightarrow$ a = 2 or 0
But for a = 2, base of above limit approaches $-$1/2 and exponent approaches to 2 and since base cannot be negative, hence limit does not exist.
The number of points at which h(x) is not differentiable is
Explanation:
The points at which the curve taken a sharp turn, are the points of non-differentiability.
Curve of f(x) and g(x) are

h(x) is not differentiable at x = $\pm$1 and 0.
As h(x) take sharp turns at x = $\pm$ 1 and 0.
Hence, number of points of non-differentiability of h(x) is 3.
$a \in R$ (the set of all real numbers), a $\ne$ $-$1,
$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{n \to \infty } {{({1^a} + {2^a} + ... + {n^a})} \over {{{(n + 1)}^{a - 1}}[(na + 1) + (na + 2) + ... + (na + n)]}} = {1 \over {60}}$, Then a = ?
If $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to \infty } \left( {{{{x^2} + x + 1} \over {x + 1}} - ax - b} \right) = 4$, then
Let $f(x) = \left\{ {\matrix{ {{x^2}\left| {\cos {\pi \over x}} \right|,} & {x \ne 0} \cr {0,} & {x = 0} \cr } } \right.$
x$\in$R, then f is
For every integer n, let an and bn be real numbers. Let function f : R $\to$ R be given by
$f(x) = \left\{ {\matrix{ {{a_n} + \sin \pi x,} & {for\,x \in [2n,2n + 1]} \cr {{b_n} + \cos \pi x,} & {for\,x \in (2n - 1,2n)} \cr } } \right.$, for all integers n. If f is continuous, then which of the following hold(s) for all n ?
If $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} {[1 + x\ln (1 + {b^2})]^{1/x}} = 2b{\sin ^2}\theta $, $b > 0$ and $\theta \in ( - \pi ,\pi ]$, then the value of $\theta$ is
Let f : R $\to$ R be a function such that $f(x + y) = f(x) + f(y),\,\forall x,y \in R$. If f(x) is differentiable at x = 0, then
If $f(x) = \left\{ {\matrix{ { - x - {\pi \over 2},} & {x \le - {\pi \over 2}} \cr { - \cos x} & { - {\pi \over 2} < x \le 0} \cr {x - 1} & {0 < x \le 1} \cr {\ln x} & {x > 1} \cr } } \right.$, then
Let $L = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} {{a - \sqrt {{a^2} - {x^2}} - {{{x^2}} \over 4}} \over {{x^4}}},a > 0$. If L is finite, then
