Question : 21 of 72
Marks: +1, -0
limx0(cscxcotx)\lim\limits_{x\to 0}(\csc x - \cot x)
Solution:  
We have, limx0(cscxcotx)\lim\limits_{x\to 0}(\csc x - \cot x)
= limx0[1cosxsinx]\lim\limits_{x\to 0}\left[\frac{1-\cos x}{\sin x}\right] = limx011+2sin2(x/2)2sin(x/2)cos(x/2)\lim\limits_{x\to 0}\frac{1-1+2\sin^2(x/2)}{2\sin(x/2)\cos(x/2)}
= limx0sin(x/2)cos(x/2)\lim\limits_{x\to 0}\frac{\sin(x/2)}{\cos(x/2)} = limx0tan(x/2)\lim\limits_{x\to 0}\tan(x/2) = 0.
