Proving $lnleft(cos frac{1}{2^n}right) = Oleft(frac{1}{4^n}right)$












0












$begingroup$


I would like to show that :



$$lnleft(cos frac{1}{2^n}right) = Oleft(frac{1}{4^n}right)$$



Attempt :



let's show that the limit :



$limlimits_{n to infty} 4^nlnleft(cos frac{1}{2^n}right)$ is bounded. Now the problem is that I need to control at which speed $ln(...)$ go to $0$. Yet I don't se how to do so.



Thank you !

    $cos x$ goes to 1 for $xto0$, so you need to know $ln$ close to 1.

We have $$cos x=1-frac{x^2}2+o(x^2)\cosfrac1{2^n}=?\ln (1-x)=x+o(x)\lnleft(cosfrac1{2^n}right)=?$$



Can you fill in the blanks?

    Consider that, for small $epsilon$
    $$cos(epsilon)=1-frac{epsilon ^2}{2}+frac{epsilon ^4}{24}+Oleft(epsilon ^6right)$$
    Continue with Taylor series to get
    $$log (cos (epsilon ))=-frac{epsilon ^2}{2}-frac{epsilon ^4}{12}+Oleft(epsilon ^5right)$$ Make $epsilon=frac 1{2^n}$ and ... continue
