Question
- $lim_{x
ightarrowpi^{+}}cot x$
Step1: Recall cotangent definition
$\cot x=\frac{\cos x}{\sin x}$
Step2: Analyze $\cos x$ and $\sin x$ as $x\to\pi^{+}$
As $x\to\pi^{+}$, $\cos x\to - 1$ and $\sin x\to0^{-}$ (since $\sin x$ is negative for $x$ slightly greater than $\pi$).
Step3: Determine the limit
$\lim_{x\to\pi^{+}}\cot x=\lim_{x\to\pi^{+}}\frac{\cos x}{\sin x}=\frac{-1}{0^{-}}=+\infty$
