The first problem in your homework is:

\[
\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{2x \cot^2(6x)}{\csc(12x)}
\]

### Solution:

1. **Rewrite using trigonometric identities**:
   - Recall that \(\csc(y) = \frac{1}{\sin(y)}\), so we can rewrite \(\csc(12x)\) as \(\frac{1}{\sin(12x)}\).
   - Also, \(\cot(y) = \frac{\cos(y)}{\sin(y)}\), so \(\cot^2(6x) = \frac{\cos^2(6x)}{\sin^2(6x)}\).

Thus, the limit becomes:
\[
\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{2x \left(\frac{\cos^2(6x)}{\sin^2(6x)}\right)}{\frac{1}{\sin(12x)}} = \lim_{x \to 0} 2x \cdot \frac{\cos^2(6x) \sin(12x)}{\sin^2(6x)}
\]

2. **Simplifying using small-angle approximations**:
   For \(x\) near 0, the following approximations hold:
   - \(\sin(kx) \approx kx\),
   - \(\cos(kx) \approx 1\).

   Using these:
   - \(\sin(12x) \approx 12x\),
   - \(\sin(6x) \approx 6x\),
   - \(\cos(6x) \approx 1\).

Substituting these into the expression:
\[
\lim_{x \to 0} 2x \cdot \frac{1 \cdot 12x}{(6x)^2} = \lim_{x \to 0} 2x \cdot \frac{12x}{36x^2}
\]

3. **Simplify the limit expression**:
   Cancel out the \(x\) terms:
   \[
   \lim_{x \to 0} 2x \cdot \frac{12}{36x} = \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{24}{36} = \frac{2}{3}
   \]

### Final Answer:
\[
\boxed{\frac{2}{3}}
\]
