Answer

$$\lim_{\theta\to0^+}\sqrt{\theta}e^{\cos(\pi/\theta)}=0$$

Work Step by Step

$$A=\lim_{\theta\to0^+}\sqrt{\theta}e^{\cos(\pi/\theta)}$$ We know that $-1\le \cos(\pi/\theta)\le1$ So $-\sqrt\theta e^{-1}\le\sqrt{\theta}e^{\cos(\pi/\theta)}\le-\sqrt\theta e^{1}$ This equals to, $-\sqrt\theta e^{-1}\le\sqrt{\theta}e^{\cos(\pi/\theta)}\le-\sqrt\theta e$ - $\lim_{\theta\to0^+}(-\sqrt\theta e^{-1})=\sqrt0 e^{-1}=0$ - $\lim_{\theta\to0^+}(-\sqrt\theta e)=\sqrt0 e=0$ Therefore, according to the Sandwich Theorem, we can conclude that $$A=\lim_{\theta\to0^+}\sqrt{\theta}e^{\cos(\pi/\theta)}=0$$
