Step-by-Step Verified Solution

lim⁡x→12sin⁡(cos⁡−1x)−x1−tan⁡(cos⁡−1x)\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {1 \over {\sqrt 2 }}} {{\sin ({{\cos }^{ - 1}}x) - x} \over {1 - \tan ({{\cos }^{ - 1}}x)}}

Let cos⁡−1x=t{\cos ^{ - 1}}x = t

⇒x=cos⁡t\Rightarrow x = \cos t

When x→12x \to {1 \over {\sqrt 2 }} , then t→cos⁡−1(12)→π4t \to {\cos ^{ - 1}}\left( {{1 \over {\sqrt 2 }}} \right) \to {\pi \over 4}

∴\therefore lim⁡t→π4sin⁡t−cos⁡t1−tan⁡(t)\mathop {\lim }\limits_{t \to {\pi \over 4}} {{\sin t - \cos t} \over {1 - \tan (t)}}

=lim⁡t→π4sin⁡t−cos⁡t1−sin⁡tcos⁡t= \mathop {\lim }\limits_{t \to {\pi \over 4}} {{\sin t - \cos t} \over {1 - {{\sin t} \over {\cos t}}}}

=lim⁡t→π4(sin⁡t−cos⁡t)(cos⁡t)(cos⁡t−sin⁡t)= \mathop {\lim }\limits_{t \to {\pi \over 4}} {{(\sin t - \cos t)(\cos t)} \over {(\cos t - \sin t)}}

=lim⁡t→π4−cos⁡t= \mathop {\lim }\limits_{t \to {\pi \over 4}} - \cos t

=−lim⁡t→π4cos⁡t= - \mathop {\lim }\limits_{t \to {\pi \over 4}} \cos t

=−12= - {1 \over {\sqrt 2 }}
