Sum

Solution

`lim_(x -> 0) (xtanx)/(1 - cosx)`

= `lim_(x -> 0) (xtanx)/(1 - cos x) xx (1 + cosx)/(1 + cosx)`

= `lim_(x -> 0) (xtanx(1 + cosx))/(1 - cos^2x)`

= `lim_(x -> 0) (xtanx(1 + cosx))/(sin^2x)`

= `lim_(x -> 0) ((tanx/x)(1 + cos x))/((sin^2x/x^2))` ...[∵ x → 0, x ≠ 0]

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

= `(1 xx [1 + cos 0])/1^2`

= 1 + 1

= 2.
