Question
Evaluate the following limit:
\[\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\sin\left( \alpha + \beta \right)x + \sin\left( \alpha - \beta \right)x + \sin2\alpha x}{\cos^2 \beta x - \cos^2 \alpha x}\]
Solution
\[\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\sin\left( \alpha + \beta \right)x + \sin\left( \alpha - \beta \right)x + \sin2\alpha x}{\cos^2 \beta x - \cos^2 \alpha x}\]
`therefore cos^2 beta x - cos^2alpha x`
`= cos^2betax - cos^2alphax + cos^2betax * cos^2alphax - cos^2betax * cos^2alphax`
= `cos^2 beta x - cos^2 beta x * cos^2 alpha x - cos^2 alpha x + cos^2 beta x * cos^2 alpha x`
= `cos^2 beta x (1 - cos^2 alpha x) - cos^2 alpha x (1 - cos^2 beta x)`
= `cos^2 beta x * sin^2 alpha x - cos^2 alpha x * sin^2 beta x`
= `(cos beta x * sin alpha x)^2 - (cos alpha x * sin beta x)`
= `(cos beta x * sin alpha x + cos alpha x * sin beta x)(cos beta x * sin alpha x - cos alpha x * sin beta x)`
= `sin (alpha x + beta x) sin (alphax - betax)` ...[sin (A ± B) = sin A cos B ± cos A sin B]
= `sin (alpha + beta)x sin (alpha - beta)x`
`therefore lim_(x->0) (x{sin (alpha + beta )x + sin (alpha - beta)x + sin 2 alpha x})/(sin (alpha + beta)x sin (alpha - beta) x)`
`lim_(x->0) ((x{sin (alpha + beta )x + sin (alpha - beta)x + sin 2 alpha x})/x^2)/((sin (alpha + beta)x sin (alpha - beta) x)/x^2)`
`lim_(x->0) ((sin (alpha + beta)x)/x + (sin (alpha - beta)x)/x + (sin 2 alpha x)/x)/((sin (alpha + beta)x)/x xx (sin (alpha - beta)x)/x)`
`lim_(x->0) ((sin (alpha + beta)x)/((alpha + beta) x) xx (alpha + beta) + (sin (alpha - beta)x)/((alpha - beta)x) xx (alpha - beta) + (sin 2 alpha x)/(2alphax) xx 2alpha)/((sin (alpha + beta)x)/((alpha + beta)x) xx (alpha + beta) xx (sin (alpha - beta)x)/((alpha - beta)x) xx (alpha - beta))`
`= (alpha + beta + alpha - beta + 2alpha)/((alpha + beta)(alpha - beta))`
`= (4alpha)/(alpha^2 - beta^2)`
