I was asked to calculate limx→0xcotx
I did it as following (using L'Hôpital's rule):
limx→0xcotx=limx→0xcosxsinx
We can now use L'Hospital's rule since the limit has indeterminate form 00. Hence limx→0(xcosx)′(sinx)′=limx→0−xsinx+cosxcosx=limx→0−xsinxcosx+1=limx→0−xtanx+1=1
I think that the result is correct but are the arguments correct?
Answer
Welcome to MSE! As best as I can tell your reasoning is sound, although as other users pointed out you could have done this in a few less steps. Regardless, your work is clear and your answer is correct. On an aside I am happy to see that you formatted your question with LATEX. I added some additional formatting to clean things up a bit, but overall nicely done.
