Evaluate the following limit: $\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow{{\pi}}}\frac{1-\sin\frac{\text{x}}{2}}{\cos\frac{\text{x}}2\big(\cos\frac{\text{x}}{2}-\sin\frac{\text{x}}{4}\big)}$

Answer

$\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow{{\pi}}}\frac{1-\sin\frac{\text{x}}{2}}{\cos\frac{\text{x}}2\big(\cos\frac{\text{x}}{2}-\sin\frac{\text{x}}{4}\big)}=\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow{0}}\frac{1\sin\big(\frac{\pi+\text{h}}{2}\big)}{\cos\big(\frac{\pi+\text{h}}{2}\big)\big(\cos\big(\frac{\pi+\text{h}}{2}\big)-\sin\big(\frac{\pi+\text{h}}{2}\big)\big)}$ $=\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow{0}}\frac{1-\cos\big(\frac{\text{h}}{2}\big)}{-\sin\big(\frac{\text{h}}{2}\big)\big(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\cos\big(\frac{\text{h}}{4}\big)-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\sin\big(\frac{\text{h}}{4}\big)-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\sin\big(\frac{\text{h}}{4}\big)-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\cos\big(\frac{\text{h}}{4}\big)\big)}$ $=\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow{0}}\frac{1-\cos\big(\frac{\text{h}}{2}\big)}{\sqrt{2}\sin\big(\frac{\text{h}}{2}\big)\sin\big(\frac{\text{h}}{4}\big)}$ $=\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow{0}}\frac{2-\sin^2\big(\frac{\text{h}}{4}\big)}{\sqrt{2}\sin\big(\frac{\text{h}}{2}\big)\sin\big(\frac{\text{h}}{4}\big)}$ $=\sqrt{2}\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow{0}}\frac{\sin\big(\frac{\text{h}}{4}\big)}{\sin\big(\frac{\text{h}}{2}\big)}$ $=\sqrt{2}\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow{0}}\frac{\frac{\sin\big(\frac{\text{h}}{4}\big)}{\big(\frac{\text{h}}{4}\big)}\times\big(\frac{\text{h}}{4}\big)}{\frac{\sin\big(\frac{\text{h}}{2}\big)}{\big(\frac{\text{h}}{2}\big)}\times\big(\frac{\text{h}}{2}\big)}$ $=\sqrt{2}\times\frac{\frac14}{\frac12}$ $=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$
