Answer

\[\lim_{x\rightarrow \left(\frac{π}{2}\right)^-}\cos x\:\sec 5x=\frac{1}{5}\]

Work Step by Step

Let \[l=\lim_{x\rightarrow \left(\frac{π}{2}\right)^-}\cos x\:\sec 5x\] Which is $0.\infty$ form \[l=\lim_{x\rightarrow \left(\frac{π}{2}\right)^-}\frac{\cos x}{\cos 5x}\] Which is $\frac{0}{0}$ form Using L'Hopital's rule \[\Rightarrow l=\lim_{x\rightarrow \left(\frac{π}{2}\right)^-}\frac{(\cos x)'}{(\cos 5x)'}\] \[\Rightarrow l=\lim_{x\rightarrow \left(\frac{π}{2}\right)^-}\frac{-\sin x}{-5\sin 5x}\] \[\Rightarrow l=\lim_{x\rightarrow \left(\frac{π}{2}\right)^-}\frac{\sin x}{5\sin 5x}\] \[\Rightarrow l=\frac{1}{5}\] Hence , \[\lim_{x\rightarrow \left(\frac{π}{2}\right)^-}\cos x\:\sec 5x=\frac{1}{5}\]
