MCQ
Choose the correct answer. $\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow0}\frac{\sec^{2}\text{x}-2}{\tan\text{x}-1}$ is:
  • A
    $3$
  • B
    $1$
  • C
    $0$
  • $2$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$2$
Given $\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow{\frac{\pi}{4}}}\frac{\sec^{2}\text{x}-2}{\tan\text{x}-1}=\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow{\frac{\pi}{4}}}\frac{1+\tan^{2}\text{x}-2}{\tan\text{x}-1}$
$=\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow{\frac{\pi}{4}}}\frac{\tan\text{x}-1}{\tan\text{x}-1}$
$=\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow{\frac{\pi}{4}}}\frac{(\tan\text{x}+1)(\tan\text{x}-1)}{(\tan\text{x}-1)}$
$=\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow{\frac{\pi}{4}}}(\tan\text{x}+1)$
$=\tan\frac{\pi}{4}+1$
$=1+1$
$=2$
