Let Pn=cos(x/2).cos(x/22).....cos(x/2n)

show that

Pn=1/2nsinx.cosec(x/2n)

and hence prove that ninfinity r=1]n (1/2r)tan(x/2r)=(1/x)-cotx

Pn = cos(x/2).cos(x/22). cos(x/23).................cos(x/2n)
 
   Multiplying and diving by 2sin(x/2n)
 
Pn = 2/2. sin(x/2n). cos(x/2n).cos(x/2n-1)....... cos(x/22).cos(x/2) . cosec(x/2n)
similarly, if u multiply 2, n times, then by the formula 2sinx.cox= sin2x, it'll finally become
     = 1/2n sinx. cosec(x/2n)
 
Now if u carefully observe the summation inside the limit, then u'll see that it is obtained when the log of Pn is differenciated. Hence, if u take log of Pn
 
log [ cos(x/2).cos(x/22).................cos(x/2n)] = log (1/2n .sinx. cosec (x/2n))
 
log(cos(x/2)) +logcos(x/22))+....................log cos(x/2n)) = logsinx - log 2n.sin(x/2n)
 
differenciating both sides,
 
-1/2tan(x/2) -1/22. tan(x/22) - 1/23 .tan(x/23) -..............-1/2n.tan(x/2n)
         = cotx - 1/2n. cos(x/2n)/sin(x/2n)
 
Therefore
[n][ infinity] S = [n][infinity] -[ cotx - 1/2n. cos(x/2n)/sin(x/2n) ]
where S is the sum that is obtained after differenciatiion.
 
Hence limit L = -cotx + [n][infinity]  (1/x). (x/2n). cos(x/2n) / sin(x/2n)
 
Now as n tends to infinity, hence 2n will tend towards 0.
By using 
[x][0]  sinx/x=1
we get,
 
L  = -cotx +1/x
 
 
Hope this helps,
cheers!!!
