Calculate $\lim_{x\to 0^{+}}x\ln(x\sinh(\frac{1}{x}) ) $

To calculate $$\lim\limits_{x\to 0^{+}}x\ln\left(x\sinh(\dfrac{1}{x}) \right) $$

the author of textbook use the followings method which there is some steps i would like to understand

$x\sinh\left(\frac1x\right)\sim_{0^+} \frac{x}2e^{\frac1x}\underset{x\to 0^{+}}{\longrightarrow }+\infty\neq 1$

Then $$\ln\left(x\sinh(\dfrac{1}{x}) \right)\sim_{x\to 0^+}\ln\left( \dfrac{x}{2}e^{\dfrac{1}{x}} \right)=\dfrac{1}{x}+\ln\left( \dfrac{1}{x}\right)\sim_{x\to 0^{+}}\dfrac{1}{x}$$

Thus $$\lim\limits_{x\to 0^{+}}x\ln\left(x\sinh(\dfrac{1}{x}) \right)=1 $$

here's steps that i would like to understand :

  • $x\sinh\left(\frac1x\right)\sim_{0^+} \frac{x}2e^{\frac1x}$
  • $\dfrac{1}{x}+\ln\left( \dfrac{1}{x}\right)\sim_{x\to 0^{+}}\dfrac{1}{x}$

what i know :

$$ x\sinh(x)=x\dfrac{e^{x}-e^{-x}}{2}=\dfrac{x}{2}\left(e^{x}-e^{-x} \right) $$

To easy understanding let's have $u=\frac 1x$ so $\lim\limits_{x\to 0^+}u=+\infty$.

$\displaystyle x\sinh(\frac 1x)=\frac{\sinh(u)}u=\frac{e^u-e^{-u}}{2u}=\frac{e^u}{2u}(1-\underbrace{e^{-2u}}_{\to 0})$

When $u\to+\infty$ then $e^u\to+\infty$ and $e^{-u}\to 0$ so this term is negligible which I showed by factorizing the main contribution term.

And we have $\displaystyle x\sinh(\frac 1x)\sim\frac{e^u}{2u}=\frac x2e^{\frac 1x}$

Similarly

$\displaystyle \frac 1x+\ln(\frac 1x)=u+\ln(u)=u(1+\underbrace{\frac{\ln(u)}u}_{\to 0})$

When $u\to+\infty$ then $\ln(u)$ is negligible in regard to $u$ which I showed by factorizing the main contribution term.

And we have

$\displaystyle \frac 1x+\ln(\frac 1x)\sim u=\frac 1x$

But I do not see the utility of this particular step in order to solve the current problem.


Overall I would do instead:

$x\ln(x\sinh(\frac 1x))\sim x\ln(\frac x2e^{1/x})=x\big(\ln(x)-\ln(2)+\ln(e^{1/x})\big)=\underbrace{x\ln(x)}_{\to 0}+\underbrace{x\ln(2)}_{\to 0}+\underbrace{\frac xx}_{\to 1}\to 1$

In your first question $x\sinh\left(\frac1x\right)\sim_{0^+} \frac{x}2$ there is $e^{\frac1x}$ missing! It should be $$x\sinh\left(\frac1x\right)\sim_{0^+} \frac{x}2e^{\frac1x}\underset{x\to 0^{+}}{\longrightarrow }+\infty\neq 1$$ since $-\frac{x}2e^{-\frac1x}\underset{x\to 0^{+}}{\longrightarrow }0$.
