Q.3. If f ( x) x 2 9 x 20 , then find f (x) and

hence find f (100) and f (22).

Sol. When x = 2, the epression

cos(a h) cos a
lim
cot x cot a h0 cot(a h) cot a

lim
h 0

cos(a h) cos a
cos(a h) cos a

assumes the form

Therefore (x 2) is a common factor to numerator and denominator.

Factorising the numerator and denominator,we get
