Question
Evaluate the following limit: $\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}(\text{cosec x}-\cot\text{x})$

Answer

$\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}(\text{cosec x}-\cot\text{x})$ $=\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}\Big(\frac{1}{\sin\text{x}}-\frac{\cos\text{x}}{\sin\text{x}}\Big)$ $=\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}\frac{2\sin^2\frac{\text{x}}{2}}{2\sin\frac{\text{x}}{2}\cos\frac{\text{x}}{2}}$ $=\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}\frac{\tan\text{x}}{2}$ $=\bigg(\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}\frac{\frac{\tan\text{x}}{2}}{\frac{\text{x}}{2}}\bigg)\times\frac{\text{x}}{2}$ $=\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}1\times\frac{\text{x}}{2}$ $=0$
