21. lim (cosec x -cotx)x-30

Open in App
Solution

Let the function be,

f( x )=( cosecxcotx )

We have to find the value of the function at limit x0 .

First we need to check the function by substituting the value.

So at x=0 , the function is in ( ) form.

We need to simplify the function in order to make it into simpler and standard form.

f( x )=cosecxcotx = 1 sinx cosx sinx = ( 1cosx ) sinx

From the theorem of limits, we know that for any two functions f and g , such that both lim xa f( x ) and lim xa g( x ) exist, then

lim xa f( x ) g( x ) = lim xa f( x ) lim xa g( x ) (1)

According to the trigonometric theorem,

lim x0 sinx x =1 (2)

On applying limits to the expression using equations (1) and (2), we get

lim x0 1cosx sinx = lim x0 ( 1cosx ) lim x0 sinx

On multiplying and dividing the above expression with a variable x , we get

lim x0 ( 1cosx ) lim x0 sinx = lim x0 ( 1cosx x ) lim x0 ( sinx x )

From the formula of limits,

lim x0 ( 1cosx ) x =0 (3)

So from equations (2) and (3), final expression will be:

lim x0 ( 1cosx x ) lim x0 ( sinx x ) =( 0 1 ) =0

Thus, the value of the given expression lim x0 ( cosecxcotx )=0
