Question

$\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow0}\frac{\sec^{2}\text{x}-2}{\tan\text{x}-1}$ is:

  1. 3
  2. 1
  3. 0
  4. 2

Answer

  1. 2

Solution:

Given $\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow{\frac{\pi}{4}}}\frac{\sec^{2}\text{x}-2}{\tan\text{x}-1}=\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow{\frac{\pi}{4}}}\frac{1+\tan^{2}\text{x}-2}{\tan\text{x}-1}$ 

$=\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow{\frac{\pi}{4}}}\frac{\tan\text{x}-1}{\tan\text{x}-1}=\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow{\frac{\pi}{4}}}\frac{(\tan\text{x}+1)(\tan\text{x}-1)}{(\tan\text{x}-1)}$

$=\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow{\frac{\pi}{4}}}(\tan\text{x}+1)=\tan\frac{\pi}{4}+1$

$=1+1=2$

$=2$
