$$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {\pi \over 2}} \left( {{{\tan }^2}x\left( {{{(2{{\sin }^2}x + 3\sin x + 4)}^{{1 \over 2}}} - {{({{\sin }^2}x + 6\sin x + 2)}^{{1 \over 2}}}} \right)} \right)$$ is equal to
Solution
<p>$$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {\pi \over 2}} {\tan ^2}x\left\{ {\sqrt {2{{\sin }^2}x + 3\sin x + 4} - \sqrt {{{\sin }^2}x + 6\sin x + 2} } \right\}$$</p>
<p>$$ = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {\pi \over 2}} {{{{\tan }^2}x({{\sin }^2}x - 3\sin x + 2)} \over {\sqrt {2{{\sin }^2}x + 3\sin x + 4} + \sqrt {{{\sin }^2}x + 6\sin x + 2} }}$$</p>
<p>$$ = {1 \over 6}\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {\pi \over 2}} {{(1 - \sin x)(2 - \sin x)} \over {{{\cos }^2}x}}\,.\,{\sin ^2}x$$</p>
<p>$$ = {1 \over 6}\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {\pi \over 2}} {{(2 - \sin x){{\sin }^2}x} \over {1 + \sin x}}$$</p>
<p>$= {1 \over {12}}$</p>
