_ x → (π)/(2) x - x (π - 2x) ^ 3 equals

\lim_{x \to \dfrac{\pi}{2}}\dfrac{\cot x - \cos x}{{\left(\pi - 2x\right)}^{3}} equals

Options

  1. A124\dfrac{1}{24}
  2. B116\dfrac{1}{16}
  3. C18\dfrac{1}{8}
  4. D14\dfrac{1}{4}

Correct answer

B. 116\dfrac{1}{16}

Step-by-step solution

Put, x=π2−hx = \dfrac{\pi}{2} - h in the given limit, we get

=lim⁡h→0[cot⁡(π2−h)−cos⁡(π2−h)(π−2×(π2−h))3]= \lim_{h \to 0}\left[\dfrac{\cot \left(\dfrac{\pi}{2} - h\right) - \cos \left(\dfrac{\pi}{2} - h\right)}{{\left(\pi - 2 \times \left(\dfrac{\pi}{2} - h\right)\right)}^{3}}\right]

=lim⁡h→0tanh−sinh(π−2×π2+2h)3= \lim_{h \to 0}\dfrac{tanh - sinh}{{\left(\pi - 2 \times \dfrac{\pi}{2} + 2h\right)}^{3}}

=lim⁡h→0[tanh−sinh8h3]= \lim_{h \to 0}\left[\dfrac{tanh - sinh}{8{h}^{3}}\right]

=18lim⁡h→0sinhh[sech−1h2]= \dfrac{1}{8}\lim_{h \to 0}\dfrac{sinh}{h}\left[\dfrac{sech - 1}{{h}^{2}}\right]

=18[lim⁡h→0(sinhh)][lim⁡h→0(1−cosh(cosh)h2)]= \dfrac{1}{8}\left[\lim_{h \to 0}\left(\dfrac{sinh}{h}\right)\right]\left[\lim_{h \to 0}\left(\dfrac{1 - cosh}{\left(cosh\right){h}^{2}}\right)\right]

=18×1×[lim⁡h→0(1−cosh(cosh)h2)]= \dfrac{1}{8} \times 1 \times \left[\lim_{h \to 0}\left(\dfrac{1 - cosh}{\left(cosh\right){h}^{2}}\right)\right]

=18lim⁡h→0[2sin⁡2(h2)(cosh)h2]= \dfrac{1}{8}\lim_{h \to 0}\left[\dfrac{2\sin^{2}\left(\dfrac{h}{2}\right)}{\left(cosh\right){h}^{2}}\right]

=18lim⁡h→0[2sin⁡2(h2)(h24)×4×cosh]= \dfrac{1}{8}\lim_{h \to 0}\left[\dfrac{2\sin^{2}\left(\dfrac{h}{2}\right)}{\left(\dfrac{{h}^{2}}{4}\right) \times 4 \times cosh}\right]

=116= \dfrac{1}{16}.
