Sum

Solution

`lim_(x -> pi/4) (cosx - sinx)/(cos2x)`

= `lim_(x -> pi/4) (cosx - sinx)/(cos^2x - sin^2x)`

= `lim_(x -> pi/4) (cosx - sinx)/((cosx - sinx)(cosx + sinx))`

= `lim_(x -> pi/4) 1/(cosx + sinx)    ...[(because x -> pi/4","  x ≠ pi/4),(therefore cos x ≠sinx),(therefore x - sin x ≠0)]`

= `(lim_(x -> pi/4) (1))/(lim_(x -> pi/4) (cosx + sinx))`

= `1/(cos(pi/4) + sin(pi/4))`

= `1/(1/sqrt(2) + 1/sqrt(2))`

= `1/((2/sqrt(2))`

= `1/sqrt(2)`.
