Evaluate the following limits:

As we need to find ![]()
We can directly find the limiting value of a function by putting the value of the variable at which the limiting value is asked if it does not take any indeterminate form (0/0 or ∞/∞ or ∞-∞, .. etc.)
Let Z =
= 
∴ we need to take steps to remove this form so that we can get a finite value.
TIP: Most of the problems of logarithmic and exponential limits are solved using the formula
and ![]()
As Z = ![]()
⇒ Z =
{using algebra of limits}
⇒ Z = ![]()
⇒ Z =
{∵ sin(x-π/2) = -cos x}
As x→π/2
∴ x-π/2→0
Let x-π/2 = y and y→0
Z can be rewritten as-
Z = ![]()
Dividing numerator and denominator by sin y to get the form present in the formula
Z = 
Using algebra of limits:
Z = ![]()
Use the formula:
and ![]()
∴ Z = ![]()
Hence,
