Question:

\( \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\sqrt{\cos 2x + 3} - \sqrt{\cos^2 x + \sin x + 3}}{x} \) is equal to

Show Hint

For limits of type \( \frac{f(x)-f(0)}{x} \), directly use derivative at 0.

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Concept: Use expansion and derivative form.

Step 1:
At \( x=0 \), both terms equal.
Apply derivative form: \[ \lim_{x\to 0} \frac{f(x)-f(0)}{x} = f'(0) \]

Step 2:
Differentiate expression.
After simplification: \[ = -\frac{1}{4} \]
