Recognize and Rewrite Limit: We are given the limit to evaluate: limx→0(csc2x−2x1)First, we recognize that csc(2x) is the reciprocal of sin(2x), so we can rewrite the limit as:limx→0(sin(2x)1−2x1)
Find Common Denominator: We need to find a common denominator to combine the terms in the limit expression. The common denominator for sin(2x) and 2x is 2xsin(2x). So we rewrite the expression with the common denominator:limx→0(2xsin(2x)2x−sin(2x))
Apply L'Hôpital's Rule: We can now apply L'Hôpital's Rule because the limit is in an indeterminate form 0/0. L'Hôpital's Rule states that if the limit of f(x)/g(x) as x approaches a value c is in the form 0/0 or ∞/∞, then the limit is the same as the limit of the derivatives of the numerator and the denominator, provided that the limit of the derivatives exists.So we take the derivative of the numerator and the denominator:Derivative of the numerator: dxd(2x−sin(2x))=2−2cos(2x)Derivative of the denominator: dxd(2xsin(2x))=2sin(2x)+4xcos(2x)
Derivatives and Limit: Now we apply L'Hôpital's Rule by taking the limit of the derivatives: limx→0(2sin(2x)+4xcos(2x)2−2cos(2x))
Apply L'Hôpital's Rule Again: We evaluate the limit of the new expression as x approaches 0: limx→0(2sin(2x)+4xcos(2x)2−2cos(2x))=2sin(0)+4⋅0⋅cos(0)2−2cos(0)=2⋅0+4⋅0⋅12−2⋅1=0+02−2=00 We have reached another indeterminate form, so we must apply L'Hôpital's Rule again.
Derivatives and Limit: We take the derivative of the numerator and the denominator again:Derivative of the numerator: dxd(2−2cos(2x))=4sin(2x)Derivative of the denominator: dxd(2sin(2x)+4xcos(2x))=4cos(2x)−8xsin(2x)
Derivatives and Limit: We take the derivative of the numerator and the denominator again:Derivative of the numerator: dxd(2−2cos(2x))=4sin(2x)Derivative of the denominator: dxd(2sin(2x)+4xcos(2x))=4cos(2x)−8xsin(2x) We apply L'Hôpital's Rule once more by taking the limit of the second derivatives:limx→0(4cos(2x)−8xsin(2x)4sin(2x))
Derivatives and Limit: We take the derivative of the numerator and the denominator again:Derivative of the numerator: dxd(2−2cos(2x))=4sin(2x)Derivative of the denominator: dxd(2sin(2x)+4xcos(2x))=4cos(2x)−8xsin(2x) We apply L'Hôpital's Rule once more by taking the limit of the second derivatives:limx→0(4cos(2x)−8xsin(2x)4sin(2x)) We evaluate the limit of the new expression as x approaches 0:limx→0(4cos(2x)−8xsin(2x)4sin(2x))=4cos(0)−8⋅0⋅sin(0)4sin(0)=4⋅1−04⋅0=40=0
