Limit evaluation involving derivatives or asymptotic analysis

Questions requiring evaluation of a limit that involves differentiation concepts, L'Hôpital-type reasoning, or asymptotic comparison of functions (e.g., limits of area ratios as a parameter tends to zero).

As shown in the figure, there is an isosceles triangle ABC with AB as one side of length 4, $\overline { \mathrm { AC } } = \overline { \mathrm { BC } }$, and $\angle \mathrm { ACB } = \theta$. On the extension of segment AB, a point D is taken such that $\overline { \mathrm { AC } } = \overline { \mathrm { AD } }$, and a point P is taken such that $\overline { \mathrm { AC } } = \overline { \mathrm { AP } }$ and $\angle \mathrm { PAB } = 2 \theta$. Let $S ( \theta )$ be the area of triangle BDP. Find the value of $\lim _ { \theta \rightarrow + 0 } ( \theta \times S ( \theta ) )$. (Here, $0 < \theta < \frac { \pi } { 6 }$) [4 points]

As shown in the figure, in a right triangle ABC with $\overline { \mathrm { AB } } = 2$ and $\angle \mathrm {~B} = \frac { \pi } { 2 }$, let D and E be the points where the circle with center A and radius 1 meets the two segments $\mathrm { AB }$ and $\mathrm { AC }$ respectively. Let F be the trisection point of arc DE closer to point D, and let G be the point where line AF meets segment BC. Let $\angle \mathrm { BAG } = \theta$. Let $f ( \theta )$ be the area of the common part of the interior of triangle ABG and the exterior of sector ADF, and let $g ( \theta )$ be the area of sector AFE. Find the value of $40 \times \lim _ { \theta \rightarrow 0 + } \frac { f ( \theta ) } { g ( \theta ) }$. (where $0 < \theta < \frac { \pi } { 6 }$) [3 points]

We assume in this part that all roots of $p$ are stable and have multiplicity 1 and we denote by $h = Xp'$ (where $p'$ is the derivative polynomial of $p$) and $h_0$ the reciprocal polynomial of $h$. We recall that, according to question 3, there exists a real number $\lambda \in \{-1, 1\}$ such that $p = \lambda p_0$.
For every real number $r > 0$, we denote by $F(r) = J(p(rX))$.
Deduce, using the results of question 4, that $$\frac{n}{2(r-1)} F(r) \underset{r \rightarrow 1}{=} J(h) + o(1)$$

If $\alpha > \beta > 0$ are the roots of the equation $a x ^ { 2 } + b x + 1 = 0$, and $\lim _ { x \rightarrow \frac { 1 } { \alpha } } \left( \frac { 1 - \cos \left( x ^ { 2 } + b x + a \right) } { 2 ( 1 - \alpha x ) ^ { 2 } } \right) ^ { \frac { 1 } { 2 } } = \frac { 1 } { k } \left( \frac { 1 } { \beta } - \frac { 1 } { \alpha } \right)$, then $k$ is equal to
