Solution 1

To find the limit of the given function as ๐œƒ approaches ๐œ‹/2, we can use l'Hospital's Rule. l'Hospital's Rule states that the limit of a quotient of two functions as x approaches a certain value is equal to the limit of the quotients of their derivatives, provided the limit of the original function is of the form 0/0 or โˆž/โˆž.

The given function is (1 - sin(๐œƒ))/(1 + cos(6๐œƒ)). As ๐œƒ approaches ๐œ‹/2, both the numerator and the denominator approach 0, so we can apply l'Hospital's Rule.

First, we need to find the derivatives of the numerator and the denominator.

The derivative of 1 - sin(๐œƒ) with respect to ๐œƒ is -cos(๐œƒ).

The derivative of 1 + cos(6๐œƒ) with respect to ๐œƒ is -6sin(6๐œƒ).

So, the limit of the original function as ๐œƒ approaches ๐œ‹/2 is equal to the limit of the quotient of these derivatives as ๐œƒ approaches ๐œ‹/2:

lim ๐œƒโ†’๐œ‹/2 (-cos(๐œƒ)/-6sin(6๐œƒ))

This simplifies to:

lim ๐œƒโ†’๐œ‹/2 (cos(๐œƒ)/6sin(6๐œƒ))

As ๐œƒ approaches ๐œ‹/2, cos(๐œƒ) approaches 0 and sin(6๐œƒ) approaches sin(3๐œ‹) = 0. So, the limit of the function as ๐œƒ approaches ๐œ‹/2 is 0/0, which is undefined.

Therefore, the limit of the given function as ๐œƒ approaches ๐œ‹/2 does not exist.

Solution 2

To find the limit of the given function as ๐œƒ approaches ๐œ‹/2, we can use l'Hospital's Rule. This rule states that the limit of a quotient of two functions as x approaches a certain value is equal to the limit of the quotients of their derivatives, provided the limit of the original function is of the form 0/0 or โˆž/โˆž.

The function is given as (1 - sin(๐œƒ))/(1 + cos(6๐œƒ)).

First, let's check the limit of the numerator and the denominator separately as ๐œƒ approaches ๐œ‹/2.

lim ๐œƒโ†’๐œ‹/2 (1 - sin(๐œƒ)) = 1 - sin(๐œ‹/2) = 1 - 1 = 0 lim ๐œƒโ†’๐œ‹/2 (1 + cos(6๐œƒ)) = 1 + cos(3๐œ‹) = 1 - 1 = 0

Since both the numerator and the denominator approach 0, we can apply l'Hospital's Rule.

Now, let's find the derivatives of the numerator and the denominator.

The derivative of 1 - sin(๐œƒ) with respect to ๐œƒ is -cos(๐œƒ). The derivative of 1 + cos(6๐œƒ) with respect to ๐œƒ is -6sin(6๐œƒ).

So, the limit of the given function as ๐œƒ approaches ๐œ‹/2 is equal to the limit of the quotient of these derivatives as ๐œƒ approaches ๐œ‹/2.

lim ๐œƒโ†’๐œ‹/2 (-cos(๐œƒ)/-6sin(6๐œƒ)) = lim ๐œƒโ†’๐œ‹/2 (cos(๐œƒ)/6sin(6๐œƒ))

Now, let's find this limit.

lim ๐œƒโ†’๐œ‹/2 (cos(๐œƒ)/6sin(6๐œƒ)) = cos(๐œ‹/2)/6sin(3๐œ‹) = 0/0

Again, we have a 0/0 form, so we can apply l'Hospital's Rule again.

The derivative of cos(๐œƒ) with respect to ๐œƒ is -sin(๐œƒ). The derivative of 6sin(6๐œƒ) with respect to ๐œƒ is 36cos(6๐œƒ).

So, the limit of the given function as ๐œƒ approaches ๐œ‹/2 is equal to the limit of the quotient of these derivatives as ๐œƒ approaches ๐œ‹/2.

lim ๐œƒโ†’๐œ‹/2 (-sin(๐œƒ)/36cos(6๐œƒ)) = lim ๐œƒโ†’๐œ‹/2 (-sin(๐œƒ)/36cos(6๐œƒ))

Now, let's find this limit.

lim ๐œƒโ†’๐œ‹/2 (-sin(๐œƒ)/36cos(6๐œƒ)) = -sin(๐œ‹/2)/36cos(3๐œ‹) = -1/36

So, the limit of the given function as ๐œƒ approaches ๐œ‹/2 is -1/36.
