Can I conclude the following limit is infinite or it doesn't exists?
$$lim_{xto0^+}frac{x^2}{e^{-frac{1}{x^2}}cos(frac{1}{x^2})^2}$$
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.

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.

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.
