Difficult Problems

1

Example

$\lim_{x\to0}\left(\frac{x^3\cot\left(x\right)}{1-\cos\left(x\right)}\right)$
2

As the limit results in indeterminate form, we can apply L'Hôpital's rule

$\lim_{x\to0}\left(\frac{\frac{d}{dx}\left(x^3\cot\left(x\right)\right)}{\frac{d}{dx}\left(1-\cos\left(x\right)\right)}\right)$
3

$\lim_{x\to0}\left(\frac{x^3\frac{d}{dx}\left(\cot\left(x\right)\right)+\cot\left(x\right)\frac{d}{dx}\left(x^3\right)}{\frac{d}{dx}\left(1-\cos\left(x\right)\right)}\right)$
4

The power rule for differentiation states that if $n$ is a real number and $f(x) = x^n$, then $f'(x) = nx^{n-1}$

$\lim_{x\to0}\left(\frac{x^3\frac{d}{dx}\left(\cot\left(x\right)\right)+3x^{2}\cot\left(x\right)}{\frac{d}{dx}\left(1-\cos\left(x\right)\right)}\right)$

6

$\lim_{x\to0}\left(\frac{3x^{2}\cot\left(x\right)-x^3\csc\left(x\right)^2}{-\frac{d}{dx}\left(\cos\left(x\right)\right)}\right)$
9

The derivative of the cosine of a function is equal to minus the sine of the function times the derivative of the function, in other words, if $f(x) = \cos(x)$, then $f'(x) = -\sin(x)\cdot D_x(x)$

$\lim_{x\to0}\left(\frac{3x^{2}\cot\left(x\right)-x^3\csc\left(x\right)^2}{\sin\left(x\right)}\right)$
