Solution

`lim_(x -> pi/2) [(3cos x + cos 3x)/(2x - pi)^3] = underline (-1/2)`

Explanation:

`lim_(x -> pi/2) [(3cos x + cos 3x)/(2x - pi)^3]`

= `lim_(x -> pi/2)(3cos x + 4cos^3x - 3cos x)/(2x - pi)^3`

= `lim_(x -> pi/2) (4cos^3x) /(8(x - pi/2)^3` 

Put `x = pi/2 + h,`

`x - pi/2 = h`

As `x -> pi/2, h -> 0`

= `lim_(x -> pi/2) (4 cos^3x) /(8(x - pi/2)^3` 

= `lim_(h-> 0) (4 cos^3(pi/2 + h))/(8h^3)`

= `lim_(h -> 0) (4(-sin h)^3)/(8h^3)`           ...`[∵ cos(pi/2 + θ) = -sinθ]`

= `-1/2(lim_(h->0)(sin h)/h)^3`

= `-1/2`
