- [ 3 ] Compute:
x 2
x → 0 lim
1 − cos( x )
Answer: 2 . Since sin ( x ) = 1 − cos ( x ), we multiply the numerator and denominator by 1 + cos( x )22
and use the fact that x/ sin( x ) → 1, obtaining
( )
2 22
x x (1 + cos( x )) xlim = lim = lim · 2 = 2
x → 0 x → 0 x → 02
1 − cos( x ) 1 − cos ( x ) sin( x )
x 2 x 2
Remarks. Another solution, using L’Hˆ opital’s rule , is possible: lim = lim = 2.
x → 0 x → 0
1 − cos( x ) sin( x )
