Question

Evaluate the following:

`lim_(x→π/6) [(2sinx − 1)/(π − 6x)]`

Sum

Solution

Put `π/6 − "h" = x`

∴ h = `π/6 − x`

Then as `x→π/6, "h"→0`

∴ `lim_(x→π/6) [(2sinx − 1)/(π - 6x)]`

= `lim_("h"→0) [(2sin(π/6 − "h") - 1)/(π − 6(π/6 − "h"))]`

= `lim_("h"→0) (2[sin(π/6 − "h") - 1/2])/(6"h")`

= `1/3 lim_("h"→0) (sin(π/6 − "h") − sin  π/6)/"h"`

= `1/3 lim_("h"→0) (2cos((π/6 − "h" + π/6)/2).sin((π/6 − "h" − π/6)/2))/"h"`

= `1/3 lim_("h"→0) (2cos(π/6 − "h"/2).sin("−h"/2))/"h"`

= `(−1)/3 lim_("h"→0) cos(π/6 − "h"/2).sin("h"/2)/("h"/2)`

= `(−1)/3 lim_("h"→0) cos(π/6 − "h"/2). lim_("h"→0) sin("h"/2)/("h"/2)`

= `(−1)/3. cos (π/6 − 0).(1)              ...[∵ lim_(θ →0) (sin pθ)/(pθ) = 1]`

= `(−1)/3 × sqrt3/2`

= `(−1)/(2sqrt3)`
