Sum

Solution

`lim_(x ->0)(secx - 1)/x^2`

= `lim_(x -> 0) ((secx - 1)(secx + 1))/(x^2(secx + 1))`

= `lim_(x -> 0) (sec^2 x - 1)/(x^2(secx + 1))`

= `lim_(x -> 0) (tan^2x)/(x^2(secx + 1))`

= `lim_(x -> 0) [(tanx/x)^2 xx 1/(secx + 1)]`

= `lim_(x -> 0) (tanx/x)^2 xx lim_(x -> 0) 1/(secx + 1)`

= `(1)^2 xx 1/(1 + 1)`

= `1/2`
