Limit of $lim_{x to 0} (cot (2x)cot (frac{pi }{2}-x))$ (No L'Hôpital)

$lim_{x to 0} (cot (2x)cot (frac{pi }{2}-x))$




I can't get to the end of this limit. Here is what I worked out:



begin{align*}
& lim_{x to 0} frac{cos 2x}{sin 2x}cdotfrac{cos(frac{pi }{2}-x )}{sin(frac{pi }{2}-x )}
lim_{x to 0}frac{frac{cos2x }{2x}}{frac{sin 2x}{2x}}cdot frac{cos(frac{pi }{2}-x )}{sin(frac{pi }{2}-x )}
= lim_{x to 0} frac{cos 2x}{2x} cdot frac{cos(frac{pi }{2}-x )}{sin(frac{pi }{2}-x )} \
= & lim_{x to 0} frac{{cos^2 (x)}-{sin^2 (x)}}{2x}cdotfrac{cos(frac{pi }{2}-x )}{sin(frac{pi }{2}-x )}
= lim_{x to 0} left(frac{cos^2(x)}{2x}-frac{sin^2 x}{2x}right)cdot frac{cos(frac{pi }{2}-x )}{sin(frac{pi }{2}-x )} \
= & lim_{x to 0} left(frac{1-sin^2 x}{2x}-frac{sin x}{2}right)cdot frac{cos(frac{pi }{2}-x )}{sin(frac{pi }{2}-x )}
= lim_{x to 0} left(frac{1}{2x}-frac{sin^2 x}{2x}-frac{sin x}{2}right) cdot frac{cos(frac{pi }{2}-x )}{sin(frac{pi }{2}-x )} \
= & lim_{x to 0} left(frac{1}{2x}-frac{sin x}{2}-frac{sin x}{2}right)cdot frac{cos(frac{pi }{2}-x )}{sin(frac{pi }{2}-x )}
= lim_{x to 0} left(frac{1}{2x}-2frac{sin x}{2}right)cdot frac{cos(frac{pi }{2}-x )}{sin(frac{pi }{2}-x )} \
= & lim_{x to 0} left(frac{1}{2x}-sin xright)cdot frac{cos(frac{pi }{2}-x )}{sin(frac{pi }{2}-x )}
end{align*}



Here is where I can't seem to complete the limit, the 2x in the denominator is giving me a hard time and I don't know how to get rid of it. Any help would be appreciated. (In previous questions I got a really hard time because of my lack of context, I hope this one follows the rules of the site. I tried.)
