Step-by-Step Verified Solution

lim⁡x→π42cos⁡x−1cot⁡x−1\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {\pi \over 4}} {{\sqrt 2 \cos x - 1} \over {\cot x - 1}} = f( π4{{\pi \over 4}} ) = k

lim⁡x→π42cos⁡x−1cot⁡x−1\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {\pi \over 4}} {{\sqrt 2 \cos x - 1} \over {\cot x - 1}} ( 00{0 \over 0} form) = k

⇒\Rightarrow lim⁡x→π4−2sin⁡x−cos⁡ec2x\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {\pi \over 4}} {{ - \sqrt 2 \sin x} \over {-\cos e{c^2}x}} (Using L Hospital Rule)

⇒\Rightarrow lim⁡x→π42sin⁡3x\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {\pi \over 4}} \sqrt 2 {\sin ^3}x = k

⇒\Rightarrow k = 2(12)3\sqrt 2 {\left( {{1 \over {\sqrt 2 }}} \right)^3} = 12{1 \over 2}
