Use l’Hôpital’s rule to find the limits in Exercises 7–52.24. lim (x → π/2) (ln(csc x)) / (x - (π/2))²

Accepted Answer

First, identify the form of the limit as $$x$$ approaches $$\frac{\pi}{2}. $$Evaluate the numerator and denominator separately at $$x = \frac{\pi}{2} to $$check if it results in an indeterminate form like $$\frac{0}{0} or$$ $$\frac{\infty}{\infty}. $$Rewrite the limit expression: $$\lim_{x 	o \frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{\ln(\csc x)}{\left(x - \frac{\pi}{2}\$$right)^2$$}. $$Note that $$\csc x = \frac{1}{\sin x}$$, so $$\ln(\csc x) = \ln\left(\frac{1}{\sin x}ight) = -\ln(\sin x). $$Since the denominator is squared, the limit is of the form $$\frac{0}{0}$$ after substitution, so l’Hôpital’s Rule applies. Differentiate the numerator and denominator with respect to $$x$$: Calculate the derivative of the numerator: $$\frac{d}{dx} \left( \ln(\csc x) ight) = \frac{d}{dx} \left( -\ln(\sin x) ight) = -\frac{\cos x}{\sin x} = -\cot x. $$Calculate the derivative of the denominator: $$\frac{d}{dx} \left( x - \frac{\pi}{2} \$$right)^2$$ = 2 \left( x - \frac{\pi}{2} ight). $$Then, rewrite the limit as $$\lim_{x 	o \frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{-\cot x}{2 \left( x - \frac{\pi}{2} ight)}. If $$this still results in an indeterminate form, apply l’Hôpital’s Rule again by differentiating numerator and denominator once more.
