Question
Evaluate the following limits:
$\lim _{x \rightarrow 1}\left[\frac{1-x^2}{\sin \pi x}\right]$

Answer

$\lim _{x \rightarrow 1} \frac{1-x^2}{\sin \pi x}=\lim _{x \rightarrow 1} \frac{(1-x)(1+x)}{\sin \pi x}$
Put $1-x=\mathrm{h}$,
$\therefore \quad x=1-\mathrm{h}$
$\text { As } x \rightarrow 1, \mathrm{~h} \rightarrow 0$
$
\begin{aligned}
\therefore \quad & \lim _{x \rightarrow 1} \frac{(1-x)(1+x)}{\sin \pi x} \\
= & \lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{(h)(1+1-h)}{\sin \pi(1-h)} \\
= & \lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{(h)(2-h)}{\sin (\pi-\pi h)} \\
& =\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{(h)(2-h)}{\sin \pi h} \quad \ldots[\because \sin (\pi-\theta)=\sin \theta]
\end{aligned}
$
$ =\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{(2-h)^{}}{\left(\frac{\sin \pi h}{\pi h}\right) \cdot \pi}$
$=\frac{1}{\pi} \cdot \frac{\lim _{h \rightarrow 0}(2-h)}{\lim _{h \rightarrow 0}\left(\frac{\sin \pi h}{\pi h}\right)}$
$=\frac{1}{\pi} \cdot \frac{(2-0)}{1} \quad \ldots\left[\because \lim _{\theta \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin p \theta}{p \theta}=1\right] $
$=\frac{2}{\pi}$

A doctor is called to see a sick child. The doctor has prior information that 80% of the sick children in that area have the flu, while the other 20% are sick with measles. Assume that there is no other disease in that area. A well-known symptom of measles is rash. From the past records, it is known that, chances of having rashes given that sick child is suffering from measles is 0.95. However occasionally children with flu also develop rash, whose chance are 0.08. Upon examining the child, the doctor finds a rash. What is the probability that child is suffering from measles?
