Question
Evaluate the following limit :
`lim_(x -> pi/4) [(tan^2x - cot^2x)/(secx - "cosec"x)]`
Advertisements
Solution
`lim_(x -> pi/4) (tan^2x - cot^2x)/(secx - "cosec"x)`
= `lim_(x -> pi/4) ((sec^2 x - 1) - ("cosec"^2x - 1))/(secx - "cosec"x)`
= `lim_(x -> pi/4) (sec^2 x - "cosec"^2x)/(secx - "cosec"x)`
= `lim_(x -> pi/4) ((secx - "cosec" x)(secx + "cosec"x))/((secx - "cosec"x))`
= `lim_(x -> pi/4) (sec x + "cosec"x) ...[(because x -> pi/4"," therefore secx -> sqrt(2) and "cosec"x -> sqrt(2)),(therefore secx - "cosec"x -> 0 therefore secx - "cosec"x ≠ 0)]`
= `lim_(x -> pi/4) (secx) + lim_(x -> pi/4) ("cosec"x)`
= `sec pi/4 + "cosec" pi/4`
= `sqrt(2) + sqrt(2)`
= `2sqrt(2)`
