Solution

f is continuous at x = π

∴ f(π) = `lim_(x -> pi) "f"(x) =  lim_(x -> pi) (1 - cos[7 (x - pi)])/(5(x - pi)^2`

Put x – π = h, as x → π, h → 0

∴ f(π) = `lim_("h" -> 0) (1 - cos7"h")/(5"h"^2)`

= `lim_("h" -> 0) (2sin^2((7"h")/2))/(5"h"^2)`

= `2/5 lim_("h" -> 0) (sin^2 ((7"h")/2))/(((7"h")/2)^2) xx (7/2)^2`

= `2/5 |lim_("h" -> 0) (sin ((7"h")/2))/(((7"h")/2))|^2 xx 49/4`

= `2/5 xx (1)^2 xx 49/4  ...[because lim_(theta -> 0) sintheta/theta = 1]`

∴ f(π) = `49/10`
