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












5















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




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.)

                    Probability when a professor distributes a quiz and homework assignment to a class of n students.

                    Image
                    0 0 $begingroup$ Need help with this problem. Suppose our lazy professor collects a quiz and a homework assignment from a class of n students one day, then distributes both the quizzes and the homework assignments back to the class in a random fashion for grading. Each student receives one quiz and one homework assignment to grade. (a) What is the probability that every student receives someone else's quiz to grade, and someone else's homework to grade? (b) What is the probability that no student receives both their own quiz and their own homework assignment to grade? In this case, some students may receive their own quiz, and others may receive their own homework assignment. (c) Compute the limiting probability as n approaches infinity in each case. ...
