Answer

\[-1\]

Work Step by Step

To find:- \[\lim_{x\rightarrow π}\frac{e^{\sin x}-1}{x-π}\] Which is $\frac{0}{0}$ form We will use L' Hopitals rule , which is , if $f(c)=g(c)=0$ \[\lim_{x\rightarrow c}\frac{f(x)}{g(x)}=\lim_{x\rightarrow c}\frac{f'(x)}{g'(x)}\;\;\;...(1)\] Using (1) \[\lim_{x\rightarrow π}\frac{e^{\sin x}-1}{x-π}=\lim_{x\rightarrow π}\frac{(e^{\sin x}-1)'}{(x-π)'}\] \[\lim_{x\rightarrow π}\frac{e^{\sin x}-1}{x-π}=\lim_{x\rightarrow π}\frac{\cos x\;e^{\sin x}}{1}\] \[\Rightarrow \lim_{x\rightarrow π}\frac{e^{\sin x}-1}{x-π}=\cos π\;e^{\sin π}=-1\] Hence , \[\lim_{x\rightarrow π}\frac{e^{\sin x}-1}{x-π}=-1\]
