TopicTaylor series
TypeLimit evaluation (multiple choice)
DifficultyModerate -0.5 This is a standard limit question testing knowledge of indeterminate forms and L'Hôpital's rule or growth rate comparison. While it requires recognizing that x² dominates ln x as x→0⁺, making the limit 0, this is a routine Further Maths concept presented as a straightforward multiple-choice question worth only 1 mark, making it easier than average.
