Question:
$\lim _{x \rightarrow \pi / 4} \frac{\cot ^{3} x-\tan x}{\cos (x+\pi / 4)}$ is :
Correct Option: , 3
Solution:
$\lim _{x \rightarrow \pi / 4} \frac{\cot ^{3} x-\tan x}{\cos \left(x+\frac{\pi}{4}\right)}$
$\lim _{x \rightarrow \pi / 4} \frac{\left(1-\tan ^{4} x\right)}{\cos (x+\pi / 4)}$
$2 \lim _{x \rightarrow \pi / 4} \frac{\left(1-\tan ^{2} x\right)}{\cos (x+\pi / 4)}$
$R \lim _{x \rightarrow \pi / 4} \frac{\cos ^{2} x-\sin ^{2} x}{\frac{\cos x-\sin x}{\sqrt{2}}} \frac{1}{\cos ^{2} x}$
$4 \sqrt{2} \lim _{x \rightarrow \pi / 4}(\cos x+\sin x)=8$
