lim⁡x→0(1−cos⁡2x)22xtan⁡x−xtan⁡2x\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} {{{{\left( {1 - \cos 2x} \right)}^2}} \over {2x\tan x - x\tan 2x}}

=lim⁡x→0(2sin⁡2x)22x(x+x33+2x515+....)−x(2x+23x33+2.25x515+...)= \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} {{{{\left( {2{{\sin }^2}x} \right)}^2}} \over {2x\left( {x + {{{x^3}} \over 3} + {{2{x^5}} \over {15}} + ....} \right) - x\left( {2x + {{{2^3}{x^3}} \over 3} + 2.{{{2^5}{x^5}} \over {15}}+...} \right)}}

=lim⁡x→04(x−x33!+x55!−....)4x4(23−83)+x6(415−6415)+....= \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} {{4{{\left( {x - {{{x^3}} \over {3!}} + {{{x^5}} \over {5!}} - ....} \right)}^4}} \over {{x^4}\left( {{2 \over 3} - {8 \over 3}} \right) + {x^6}\left( {{4 \over {15}} - {{64} \over {15}}} \right) + ....}}

=lim⁡x→04(1−x23!+345!−....)4−2+x2(−6015)+....= \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} {{4{{\left( {1 - {{{x^2}} \over {3!}} + {{{3^4}} \over {5!}} - ....} \right)}^4}} \over { - 2 + {x^2}\left( { - {{60} \over {15}}} \right) + ....}}

(By dividing numerator and denominator by x4)

=4(1−0)4−2+0= {{4{{\left( {1 - 0} \right)}^4}} \over { - 2 + 0}}

=4−2= {4 \over { - 2}}

== −- 2
