Evaluate the following limit:

$\lim_{x\rightarrow 0} (\frac{1-cos2x}{sinx})$

Answer

When approaches 0 both and will approach . Therefore, L’Hopital’s Rule can be applied here. Take the derivatives of the numerator and denominator and try the limit again:

$\lim_{x\rightarrow 0} (\frac{1-cos2x}{sinx})= \lim_{x\rightarrow 0} (\frac{2sin2x}{cosx})=\frac{0}{1}=0$
