Question

Evaluate the following limit: $\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}\frac{\cos2\text{x}-1}{\cos\text{x}-1}$

✓

Answer

$\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}\frac{\cos2\text{x}-1}{\cos\text{x}-1}$ $=\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow0}\frac{1-\cos2\text{x}}{1-\cos\text{x}}$ $=\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow0}\frac{2\sin^2\text{x}}{2\sin^2\frac{\text{x}}{2}}$ $=\frac{\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow0}(\sin\text{x})^2}{\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow0}\big(\sin\frac{\text{x}}{2}\big)^2}$ $=\frac{\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow0}\big(2\sin\frac{\text{x}}{2}\cos\frac{\text{x}}{2}\big)^2}{\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow0}\big(\sin\frac{\text{x}}{2}\big)^2}$ $=4\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow0}\cos^2\frac{\text{x}}{2}$ $=4\times1$ $=4$
