Answer

$\lim\limits_{x \to \pi^-}(x-\pi)~csc~x = -1$

Work Step by Step

$\lim\limits_{x \to \pi^-}(x-\pi)~csc~x = \lim\limits_{x \to \pi^-}\frac{x-\pi}{sin~x}= \frac{0}{0}$ We can use L'Hospital's Rule: $\lim\limits_{x \to \pi^-}\frac{x-\pi}{sin~x}$ $=\lim\limits_{x \to \pi^-}\frac{1}{cos~x}$ $=\frac{1}{-1}$ $= -1$
