Solution

`lim_(x -> pi/4) (sec^2x - 2)/(tan x - 1)` is equal to 2.

Explanation:

Given, `lim_(x -> pi/4) (sec^2 x - 2)/(tan x - 1)`

= `lim_(x -> pi/4) (1 + tan^2 x - 2)/(tan x - 1)`

= `lim_(x -> pi/4) (tan^2x - 1)/(tanx - 1)`

= `lim_(x -> pi/4) ((tan x + 1)(tan x - 1))/((tan x - 1))`

= `lim_(x -> pi/4) (tan x + 1)`

= `tan  pi/4 + 1`

= 1 + 1

= 2
