Question:medium

Evaluate: $$ \lim_{x \to \frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{\cot x - \cos x}{(\pi - 2x)^3} $$ 

Show Hint

Logic Tip: L'Hopital's rule can be used here since it's a $0/0$ form, but differentiating $(\pi-2x)^3$ and the complex trigonometric numerator three times is highly prone to algebraic errors. The substitution $x = \pi/2 - h$ is much safer and elegantly brings the limit to standard forms.
