Question Statement:

The value of the limit $\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{e^{2x} - 1 - 2x - 2x^2}{x^3}$ is:

Answer Key:

1.33

Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation

Using Taylor series expansion: $e^{2x} = 1 + 2x + \frac{(2x)^2}{2!} + \frac{(2x)^3}{3!} + \dots = 1 + 2x + 2x^2 + \frac{8x^3}{6} + \dots$ Substituting gives $\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\frac{4}{3}x^3 + O(x^4)}{x^3} = \frac{4}{3} \approx 1.333$.
