Question

Limit as x approaches 0 of csc3x/cotx

Answer 1

Hello Meggieh821, to find the lim as x approaches 0 we can check this by inserting a number that is close to 0 that is coming from the left and from the right.

For instance, we can find the lim by using the number -.00001 for x and solve
csc(3x) / cot(x)
csc(3*-.00001) / cot(-.00001) = .333333... = 1 /3

We also need to check coming from the right. We will use the number .00001 for x
csc(3x) / cot(x)
csc(3*.00001) / cot(.00001) = .333333... = 1 /3

So since we are getting 1/3 from the left and right we can say as x approaches 0 the limit is 1/3

$\lim_{x\to 0} \frac{csc(3x)}{cot(x)} = \frac{1}{3}$
