Evaluating
trigonometric
limits, examples |
We
use the fundamental limit |
|
and
known trigonometric identities when solving
trigonometric |
|
limits.
|
Example: Evaluate
the limit |
|
|
Solution:
|
|
|
Example: Evaluate
the limit |
|
|
Solution:
Since
cos (a
+ b)
= cosa cosb
-
sina sinb
then cos2a
= cos2a
-
sin2a
= 1 -
2sin2a |
that
is |
|
|
|
|
|
Example: Evaluate
the limit |
|
|
Solution:
We
use the sum to product identity and the fundamental
trigonometric limit, thus |
|
|
Example: Evaluate
the limit |
|
|
Solution:
If
we substitute arcsin
(x
+ 2) = t
then, |
x
+ 2 = sin t or
x =
sin t -
2 so that, t
®
0 as
x ®
-2,
therefore |
