We need to evaluate
L=limx→2π(2sin2xsin23x+cos25x)−(2+2cos2x+cos23x)42(sin3x+sinx).
First simplify the numerator using
sin3x+sinx=2sin23x+xcos23x−x=2sin2xcosx.
So numerator becomes
42(sin3x+sinx)=42⋅2sin2xcosx=82sin2xcosx.
Since sin2x=2sinxcosx,
82sin2xcosx=162sinxcos2x.
Now simplify the denominator:
D=2sin2xsin23x+cos25x−2−2cos2x−cos23x.
Use
2sinAsinB=cos(A−B)−cos(A+B).
With A=2x,B=23x,
2sin2xsin23x=cos2x−cos27x.
Hence
D=cos2x−cos27x+cos25x−2−2cos2x−cos23x.
Group cosine terms:
D=(cos2x−cos23x)+(cos25x−cos27x)−2(1+cos2x).
Now use
cosC−cosD=−2sin2C+Dsin2C−D.
Then
cos2x−cos23x=2sinxsin2x,cos25x−cos27x=2sin3xsin2x.
So
D=2sin2x(sinx+sin3x)−2(1+cos2x).
Again,
sinx+sin3x=2sin2xcosx.
Therefore
D=4sin2xsin2xcosx−2(1+cos2x).
Also,
1+cos2x=2cos2x,
so
D=4sin2xsin2xcosx−22cos2x.
Using sin2x=2sinxcosx,
D=8sin2xsinxcos2x−22cos2x.
Factor 2cos2x:
D=2cos2x(4sin2xsinx−2).
Now use sinx=2sin2xcos2x:
4sin2xsinx=8sin22xcos2x.
So
D=2cos2x(8sin22xcos2x−2).
At x=2π, this bracket becomes 0, so factor further. Let
t=2x.
Then
8sin2tcost−2=8(1−cos2t)cost−2.
When t→4π, cost→21. Put u=cost:
8(1−u2)u−2=8u−8u3−2.
Since u=21 is a root,
8u−8u3−2=−(u−21)⋅8(u2+2u−21).
A quicker factorization is obtained directly as
8sin2tcost−2=22(2cost+2)(cost−21)2.
But near t=4π, the simplest way is to use
cost−21=−2sin2t+π/4sin2t−π/4,
though an even cleaner route is to use local behavior after factoring one cosx. Instead, let us rewrite from a previous stage.
From numerator and denominator expressions:
N=162sinxcos2x,D=2cos2x(4sin2xsinx−2).
Cancel 2cos2x:
L=limx→π/24sin2xsinx−282sinx.
Now this is still 08-type? Check carefully at x=π/2:
4sin4πsin2π=4⋅21⋅1=22,
so denominator becomes
22−2=2=0.
Hence the limit is obtained by direct substitution.
