<h2>高阶无穷小、低阶无穷小、同阶无穷小、等价无穷小的概念</h2>
<p><strong>1. 高阶无穷小</strong></p>
<p>若$\lim\limits_{x \to x_0} \frac{\alpha(x)}{\beta(x)} = 0$,则称$\alpha(x)$是比$\beta(x)$高阶的无穷小,记作$\alpha(x) = o(\beta(x))$。</p>
<p>例如:当$x \to 0$时,$x^2$是比$x$高阶的无穷小,即$x^2 = o(x)$。</p>
<p><strong>2. 低阶无穷小</strong></p>
<p>若$\lim\limits_{x \to x_0} \frac{\alpha(x)}{\beta(x)} = \infty$,则称$\alpha(x)$是比$\beta(x)$低阶的无穷小。</p>
<p>例如:当$x \to 0$时,$x$是比$x^2$低阶的无穷小。</p>
<p><strong>3. 同阶无穷小</strong></p>
<p>若$\lim\limits_{x \to x_0} \frac{\alpha(x)}{\beta(x)} = c \neq 0$,则称$\alpha(x)$与$\beta(x)$是同阶无穷小。</p>
<p>例如:当$x \to 0$时,$2x$与$x$是同阶无穷小,因为$\lim\limits_{x \to 0} \frac{2x}{x} = 2$。</p>
<p><strong>4. 等价无穷小</strong></p>
<p>若$\lim\limits_{x \to x_0} \frac{\alpha(x)}{\beta(x)} = 1$,则称$\alpha(x)$与$\beta(x)$是等价无穷小,记作$\alpha(x) \sim \beta(x)$。</p>
<p>例如:当$x \to 0$时,$\sin x$与$x$是等价无穷小,因为$\lim\limits_{x \to 0} \frac{\sin x}{x} = 1$。</p>
