Can I conclude that $lim_{xto0^+}frac{x^2}{e^{-frac{1}{x^2}}cos(frac{1}{x^2})^2}$ is infinite or it doesn't...
$$lim_{xto0^+}frac{x^2}{e^{-frac{1}{x^2}}cos(frac{1}{x^2})^2}$$
My intuition is that the denominator goes to 0 faster and everything is non-negative, so the limit is positive infinity.
I cant think of elementary proof, l'Hopital doesn't help here, and I'm not sure if and how to use taylor.
WolframAlpha says it's complex infinity, but I can't understand why it doesn't just real positive infinity.
I've tried to use wolfram language to use the assumption that x is real, but couldn't get any result.

someone vote to close as off-topic, I can't understand why... I'm mentioning WA just as an aside, I ask about a limit and describe what have I tried. can't see, why this might be considered off-topic?

The limit$$lim_{xto0^+}frac{x^2}{expleft(-frac1{x^2}right)}$$is indeed $+infty$. Since $dfrac1{cos^2left(frac1{x^2}right)}geqslant1$ for each $x$ (when it is defined), you are right: the limit is $+infty$.
thanks! so if I want to be as rigorous as possible, the limit doesn't exists just because of the points where it's undefined? or can I just ignore them?

That depends upon the definition of limit that you are using. If it requires that the function is defined in som interval $(0,varepsilon)$, then it doesn't exist.

The function is not finite valued. If you allow the value $infty$ then the limit is $infty$. Use L'Hôpital's Rule twice to show that $frac {e^{y}} {y^{2}} to infty$ as $y to infty$. Replace $y$ by $frac 1 {x^{2}}$ and use the fact that $|cos (t)| leq 1$.
Thanks! value of $infty$? I'm not using "one point compactification" or "extended real line" if that was your meaning, division by the number 0 is not allowed. I do use a definition which allow infinite limits or limits at infinity. Using this change of variable, I still get 0 in the denominator infinitely many times as y goes to $infty$...

@User In that case you have to say that function is not defined in $(0,a)$ for any $a>0$ so the limit is not defined.

The function is not finite valued. If you allow the value $infty$ then the limit is $infty$. Use L'Hôpital's Rule twice to show that $frac {e^{y}} {y^{2}} to infty$ as $y to infty$. Replace $y$ by $frac 1 {x^{2}}$ and use the fact that $|cos (t)| leq 1$.
Thanks! value of $infty$? I'm not using "one point compactification" or "extended real line" if that was your meaning, division by the number 0 is not allowed. I do use a definition which allow infinite limits or limits at infinity. Using this change of variable, I still get 0 in the denominator infinitely many times as y goes to $infty$...
