We recognize the double angle identities at the
denominators of the first 2 terms.
We 'll re-write the
denominators of th ratio as:
sin x/(cos 2x) -cos x/(cos
2x) - sin2x/cosx
But cos 2x = (cos x)^2 - (sin
x)^2
We'll re-write the difference of squares as a
product:
(cos x)^2 - (sin x)^2 = (cos x - sin x)(cos x +
sin x)
We'll also re-write the numerator of the 3rd term of
the function:
sin 2x = 2sin x*cos
x
We'll re-write the
function:
f(x) = (sin x-cos x)/(cos x - sin x)(cos x + sin
x) - 2sin x*cos x/cos x
We'll simplify and we'll
get:
f(x) = -1/(cos x + sin x) - 2sin
x
Now, we'll take limit both
sides:
lim f(x) = lim [-1/(cos x + sin x)] - 2 lim sin
x
lim f(x) = -1/lim (cos x + sin x) - 2 lim sin
x
We'll substitute x by
pi/4:
lim f(x) = -1/(cos pi/4 + sin pi/4) - 2 sin
pi/4
lim f(x) = -1/(sqrt2/2 + sqrt2/2) -
2sqrt2/2
lim f(x) = -2/2sqrt2 -
2sqrt2/2
lim f(x) = (-2 -
4)/2sqrt2
lim f(x) =
-6/2sqrt2
lim f(x) = -3/sqrt2 =
-3sqrt2/2
The limit of the given function, if
x approaches to pi/4 is lim f(x) = -3sqrt2/2.
