Question

Evaluate lim(x→π/2) cot(x)/cos(x)
Options
A 0
B 1
Correct Answer
C -1
D 2
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

cot(x)/cos(x) = (cos x/sin x)/cos x = 1/sin x. At x=π/2, sin x=1, so the limit is 1.

Hint

Rewrite cot x as cos x/sin x and simplify before substituting.
