A pair of students are trying to solve this problem: limx0sec(2x)\lim_{x \to 0} \sec(2x). The following are the steps the students follow: Step 1: limx0sec(2x)=limx0seclimx0(2x)\lim_{x \to 0} \sec(2x) = \lim_{x \to 0} \sec \cdot \lim_{x \to 0} (2x) Step 2 = 000 \cdot 0 Step 3 = 00 Are the students correct?
