How do I evaluate limz1(1z)tanπz2
I tried using the identity, tanx2=1cosxsinx to simplify this to:
limz1(1z)sinπz1+cosπz

Note that
tan(πz2)=tan(π(z1)2+π2)
=cot(π2(z1))
and that therefore
limz1(1z)tan(πz2)=limz1(z1sin(π2(z1))×cos(π2(z1)))
=limz1cos(π2(z1))limz1sin(π2(z1))z1 (since both limits exist)
=cos0π2cos0
=2π

limz1cos(πz2)1z=limz1cos(πz2)cos(π2)z1=cos(πx2)|x=1=π2sin(π2)=π2
and
limz1sinπz2=1
Combining the above two
limz1(1z)tan(πz2)=limz11zcos(πz2)limz1sin(πz2)=2π1
