$$lim_xto pi/4(tan x)^tan 2x $$
I think this is the second remarkable limit, but here is how to solve it - I do not know. help me please

Take Log we have: $tan(2x)ln(tan x)= dfrac2tan xln(tan x)1-tan^2 x$. Put $u = tan x$, then the limit $l = 2displaystyle lim_u to 1dfracln u1-u^2=-1$, by L'hospitale rule. Thus the original limit $L = e^l = e^-1 = dfrac1e$

Of course, tags are not considered part of the question, just a way to find the question and sort them. The OP should have mentioned it in the question proper.

Alternatively, note $ln u sim u-1$ and $2displaystyle lim_u to 1dfrac u-11-u^2=2displaystyle lim_u to 1dfrac-11+u = -1$

Set $x=pi/4-t$ so the base becomes
$$
tanleft(fracpi4-tright)=frac1-tan t1+tan t
$$
and the exponent is
$$
tan2x=cot2t=frac1-tan^2t2tan t
$$
so we really have to compute
$$
lim_tto0left(frac1-tan t1+tan tright)^1/tan t
$$
and then take its square root.
Let's split it into the limit from the right and from the left. For $tto0^+$, let's set $tan t=1/u$, so the limit becomes
$$
lim_utoinftyleft(fracu-1u+1right)^u=
lim_utoinftyleft(1-frac2u+1right)^u=
lim_utoinftyleft(1-frac2u+1right)^u+1
left(1-frac2u+1right)^-1
$$
Can you finish and also do the limit from the left?

Set $x=pi/4-t$ so the base becomes
$$
tanleft(fracpi4-tright)=frac1-tan t1+tan t
$$
and the exponent is
$$
tan2x=cot2t=frac1-tan^2t2tan t
$$
so we really have to compute
$$
lim_tto0left(frac1-tan t1+tan tright)^1/tan t
$$
and then take its square root.
Let's split it into the limit from the right and from the left. For $tto0^+$, let's set $tan t=1/u$, so the limit becomes
$$
lim_utoinftyleft(fracu-1u+1right)^u=
lim_utoinftyleft(1-frac2u+1right)^u=
lim_utoinftyleft(1-frac2u+1right)^u+1
left(1-frac2u+1right)^-1
$$
Can you finish and also do the limit from the left?
