        lim_(x→π)  ((sin (x/2)−1)/(cos (sin x)−1))          = lim_(x→π)  ((sin (x/2)−1)/(−2sin^2 (((sin x)/2))))   let h=sin (x/2) ;h→1         =lim_(h→1)  ((h−1)/(−2sin^2 (h(√(1−h^2 )))))       = −(1/2) lim_(h→1)  ((h−1)/(h^2 (1−h)(1+h)))      = −(1/2)×−(1/2) = (1/4) .

L=lim_(x→π) ((cos(((π−x)/2))−1)/(cos(sin(π−x))−1))  let t=π−x, if x→π, ⇒ t→0  L=lim_(t→0) ((cos(t/2)−1)/(cos(sint)−1))  L=lim_(t→0) ((((1−cos(t/2))/(((t/2))^2 ))×(1/4))/(((1−cos(sint))/(sin^2 t))×((sin^2 t)/t^2 )))  L=(((1/2)×(1/4))/((1/2)×1^2 ))=(1/4)

$$\mathrm{L}=\underset{\mathrm{x}\rightarrow\pi} {\mathrm{lim}}\frac{\mathrm{cos}\left(\frac{\pi−\mathrm{x}}{\mathrm{2}}\right)−\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{cos}\left(\mathrm{sin}\left(\pi−\mathrm{x}\right)\right)−\mathrm{1}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{let}\:\mathrm{t}=\pi−\mathrm{x},\:\mathrm{if}\:\mathrm{x}\rightarrow\pi,\:\Rightarrow\:\mathrm{t}\rightarrow\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\mathrm{L}=\underset{\mathrm{t}\rightarrow\mathrm{0}} {\mathrm{lim}}\frac{\mathrm{cos}\frac{\mathrm{t}}{\mathrm{2}}−\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{cos}\left(\mathrm{sint}\right)−\mathrm{1}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{L}=\underset{\mathrm{t}\rightarrow\mathrm{0}} {\mathrm{lim}}\frac{\frac{\mathrm{1}−\mathrm{cos}\frac{\mathrm{t}}{\mathrm{2}}}{\left(\frac{\mathrm{t}}{\mathrm{2}}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} }×\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{4}}}{\frac{\mathrm{1}−\mathrm{cos}\left(\mathrm{sint}\right)}{\mathrm{sin}^{\mathrm{2}} \mathrm{t}}×\frac{\mathrm{sin}^{\mathrm{2}} \mathrm{t}}{\mathrm{t}^{\mathrm{2}} }} \\ $$$$\mathrm{L}=\frac{\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}×\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{4}}}{\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}×\mathrm{1}^{\mathrm{2}} }=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{4}} \\ $$
