Question
Evaluate the following limit: $\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow\frac{\pi}{2}}\frac{\cos^2\text{x}}{1-\sin\text{x}}$

Answer

$\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow\frac{\pi}{2}}\frac{\cos^2\text{x}}{1-\sin\text{x}}$ $=\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow\frac{\pi}{2}}\frac{1-\sin^2\text{x}}{1-\sin\text{x}}$ $=\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow\frac{\pi}{2}}\frac{(1-\sin\text{x})(1+\sin\text{x})}{(1-\sin\text{x})}$ $=\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow\frac{\pi}{2}}{(1+\sin\text{x})}$ $=1+\sin\frac{\pi}{2}$ $=1+1$ $=2$
