Question
Evaluate the following limits:
`lim_(x -> 0) (sqrt(2) - sqrt(1 + cosx))/(sin^2x)`
Advertisements
Solution
`lim_(x -> 0) ((sqrt(2) - sqrt(1 + cosx))/(sin^2x))`
= `lim_(x -> 0) ((sqrt(2) - sqrt(1 + cosx))(sqrt(2) + sqrt(1 + cosx)))/(sin^2x (sqrt(2) + sqrt(1 + cosx))`
= `lim_(x -> 0) (2 - (1 + cosx))/((1 - cos^2x)(sqrt(2) + sqrt(1 + cosx))`
= `lim_(x -> 0) (1 - cosx)/((1 +cosx)(1 - cosx)(sqrt(2) + sqrt(1 + cosx))`
= `lim_(x -> 0) 1/((1 + cosx)(sqrt(2) + sqrt(1 + cosx))`
= `1/((1 + cos0)(sqrt(2) + sqrt(1 + 1))`
= `1/(2(sqrt(2) + sqrt(2))`
=`1/(2 xx 2sqrt(2))`
`lim_(x -> 0) (sqrt(2) - sqrt(1 + cosx))/(sin^2x) = 1/(4sqrt(2))`
