Let $$x=2$$ be a root of the equation $$x^2+px+q=0$$ and $$f(x) = \left\{ {\begin{matrix} {{{1 - \cos ({x^2} - 4px + {q^2} + 8q + 16)} \over {{{(x - 2p)}^4}}},} & {x \ne 2p} \\ {0,} & {x = 2p} \\ \end{matrix} } \right.$$ Then $$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 2{p^ + }} [f(x)]$$, where $$\left[ . \right]$$ denotes greatest integer function, is

Answer

C. 0

Explanation

$\lim \limits_{x \rightarrow 2^{+}}\left(\frac{1-\cos \left(x^{2}-4 p x+q^{2}+8 q+16\right)}{\left(x^{2}-4 p x+q^{2}+8 q+16\right)^{2}}\right)\left(\frac{\left(x^{2}-4 p x+q^{2}+8 q+16\right)^{2}}{(x-2 p)^{2}}\right)$ $\lim \limits_{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{(2 p+h)^{2}-4 p(2 p+h)+q^{2}+82+16}{h^{2}}\right)^{2}=\frac{1}{2}$ Using L'Hospital's $\lim _{x \rightarrow 2 p^{+}}[f(x)]=0$
