$$lim_xto 0 fracsqrt1-cos(x^2)1-cos(x)$$



I am trying to solve this limit for 2 days, but still cant find the solution which is $sqrt2$ (that's what is written in the solution sheet)



I tried multiplying with the conjugate, tried with some identities but nothing much because of that $x^2$ in the $cos$.
Then i tried L'Hopital because it is $frac00$ and still that $cos$ in the square root is doing problems. I tried on symbolab calculator but it can't solve it.



So can someone help me how to solve this?
Thank you.

An approach based on the fact that
$$
lim_uto0 frac1-cos uu^2 = frac12 tag1
$$

which is a standard limit (and equivalent to a Taylor expansion of $cos$ to order $2$ at $0$).



$$
fracsqrt1-cos(x^2)1-cos x
= sqrtfrac1-cos(x^2)x^4cdotfracx^21-cos x xrightarrow[xto0]sqrtfrac12cdotfrac1frac12 = sqrt2,,
$$

applying (1) to $u=x^2$ and $u=x$ separately (for the first, since $x^2to 0$ when $xto 0$).




To be completely precise: we used (1) twice, and the continuity of both $sqrtcdot$ and the inverse function at $1/2$ to have $$lim_xto 0 sqrtg(x)frac1h(x) = lim_xto 0sqrtg(x)lim_xto 0frac1h(x) = sqrtlim_xto 0g(x)frac1lim_xto 0h(x)$$

    By L'Hopital's rule, we have
    $$beginaligned
    lim_x to 0frac1 - cos(x^2)(1 - cos(x))^2
    &= lim_x to 0frac2xsin(x^2)2(1 - cos(x))sin(x) \
    &= lim_x to 0fracxsin(x)fracsin(x^2)1 - cos(x) \
    &= lim_x to 0fracsin(x^2)1 - cos(x) \
    endaligned$$

    where we have used that
    $$lim_x to 0fracxsin(x) = 1$$
    Now we can apply L'Hopital's rule again to obtain
    $$beginaligned
    lim_x to 0fracsin(x^2)1 - cos(x)
    &= lim_x to 0 frac2xcos(x^2)sin(x) \
    &= lim_x to 0 fracxsin(x) 2cos(x^2) \
    &= lim_x to 0 2cos(x^2) \
    &= 2
    endaligned$$

    Summarizing what we have so far,
    $$lim_x to 0 frac1 - cos(x^2)(1 - cos(x))^2 = 2$$
    Now take the square root of both sides and use the fact that $sqrt(cdot)$ is continuous at zero (note that we approach only from the right) to conclude that
    $$
    beginaligned
    lim_x to 0fracsqrt1 - cos(x^2)1 - cos(x)
    &= lim_x to 0sqrtfrac1 - cos(x^2)(1 - cos(x))^2 \
    &= sqrtlim_x to 0 frac1 - cos(x^2)(1 - cos(x))^2 \
    &= sqrt2
    endaligned$$

    as desired.

      if you multiply and divide by both conjugates you get:



      $$lim_x to 0 frac(1+cosx)sin(x^2)sqrt1+cos(x^2) space sin^2x$$



      Amplifying to get limit of the form $fracsinxx :$



      $$=lim_x to 0 frac(1+cosx)sqrt1+cosx^2 space fracsin(x^2)x^2 space fracx^2sin^2x=frac2sqrt2*1*1^2=sqrt2$$

                    By L'Hopital's rule, we have
                    $$beginaligned
                    lim_x to 0frac1 - cos(x^2)(1 - cos(x))^2
                    &= lim_x to 0frac2xsin(x^2)2(1 - cos(x))sin(x) \
                    &= lim_x to 0fracxsin(x)fracsin(x^2)1 - cos(x) \
                    &= lim_x to 0fracsin(x^2)1 - cos(x) \
                    endaligned$$

                    where we have used that
                    $$lim_x to 0fracxsin(x) = 1$$
                    Now we can apply L'Hopital's rule again to obtain
                    $$beginaligned
                    lim_x to 0fracsin(x^2)1 - cos(x)
                    &= lim_x to 0 frac2xcos(x^2)sin(x) \
                    &= lim_x to 0 fracxsin(x) 2cos(x^2) \
                    &= lim_x to 0 2cos(x^2) \
                    &= 2
                    endaligned$$

                    Summarizing what we have so far,
                    $$lim_x to 0 frac1 - cos(x^2)(1 - cos(x))^2 = 2$$
                    Now take the square root of both sides and use the fact that $sqrt(cdot)$ is continuous at zero (note that we approach only from the right) to conclude that
                    $$
                    beginaligned
                    lim_x to 0fracsqrt1 - cos(x^2)1 - cos(x)

                        Amplifying to get limit of the form $fracsinxx :$
