2.7 Limits Of Trigonometric Functions

The trigonometric functions have following important limit properties:


Example 1 
 Evaluate   

Solution :  Let L  =   

        

Example 2 Evaluate ( 1 + cot x )

Solution : Let L = ( 1 + cot x )

      = 1 + cot ( p/4 ) = 1 + 1 = 2

Example 3 Evaluate  

Solution : Let L  =  

        

Example 4  Evaluate cot x

Solution : Let L = cot x    =   

Here sin x ® 1 and cos x ® 0 as x ® 0 and x > 0 ( in the 1st quadrant). Therefore the function cot x increases without bound and cot x = + ¥.

It has a vertical asymptote at x = 0.

Example 5 Evaluate

Solution : Let

L        =
