Evaluate the Limit limit as x approaches 0 of 2/(xcsc(x))
limx02xcsc(x)limx02xcsc(x)
Step 1
Move the term 22 outside of the limit because it is constant with respect to xx.
2limx01xcsc(x)2limx01xcsc(x)
Step 2
Split the limit using the Limits Quotient Rule on the limit as xx approaches 00.
2limx01limx0xcsc(x)2limx01limx0xcsc(x)
Step 3
Evaluate the limit of 11 which is constant as xx approaches 00.
21limx0xcsc(x)21limx0xcsc(x)
Step 4
Consider the left sided limit.
limx0-xcsc(x)limx0xcsc(x)
Step 5
Make a table to show the behavior of the function xcsc(x)xcsc(x) as xx approaches 00 from the left.
xxcsc(x)-0.11.00166861-0.011.00001666-0.0011.00000016xxcsc(x)0.11.001668610.011.000016660.0011.00000016
Step 6
As the xx values approach 00, the function values approach 11. Thus, the limit of xcsc(x)xcsc(x) as xx approaches 00 from the left is 11.
11
Step 7
Consider the right sided limit.
limx0+xcsc(x)limx0+xcsc(x)
Step 8
Make a table to show the behavior of the function xcsc(x)xcsc(x) as xx approaches 00 from the right.
xxcsc(x)0.11.001668610.011.000016660.0011.00000016xxcsc(x)0.11.001668610.011.000016660.0011.00000016
Step 9
As the xx values approach 00, the function values approach 11. Thus, the limit of xcsc(x)xcsc(x) as xx approaches 00 from the right is 11.
