limit as x approaches 0 of 2xcot(2x)

x \to 0 lim (2 x cot (2 x))

1

Solution steps

x \to 0 lim (2 x cot (2 x))

x \to a lim [c \cdot f (x)] = c \cdot x \to a lim f (x)

= 2 \cdot x \to 0 lim (x cot (2 x))

Rewrite for L'Hopital

= 2 \cdot x \to 0 lim (\frac{x}{\frac{1}{c o t ( 2 x )}})

Apply L'Hopital's Rule

= 2 \cdot x \to 0 lim (\frac{1}{sec ^{2} ( 2 x ) \cdot 2})

Plug in the value

x = 0

= 2 \cdot \frac{1}{sec ^{2} ( 2 \cdot 0 ) \cdot 2}

Simplify

2 \cdot \frac{1}{sec ^{2} ( 2 \cdot 0 ) \cdot 2} : 1

= 1
