the limit of what

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

\[\lim_{x \rightarrow \pi/4} (\sec x)*( (\sin^2 x +\cos^2 x )/\tan^2 x ) = ?\]

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

@TheSmartOne your opinion please ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

we know that sec x = 1/cos x sin^2 x +cos^2 x = 1 tan^2 x = sin^2 x / cos^2 x

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so this is equal 1 1 1 cos^2 x cos x ------ * ----------------- = ----- * --------- = ------- = cos x (sin^2 x)/(cos^2 x) cos x sin^2 x sin^2 x

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

cos pi/4 = sqrt2 /2
