    plug in x=0 gives 0/0. This is one of the indeterminate forms (some others are ∞/∞ and 0·∞) use L'Hospital's Rule.

    Differentiate the top and bottom of the fraction:

    lim (cos x) / (x - π/2) = > lim (-sin x) / (1 - 0)

    Now you can substitute x = π/2 without problem

    lim = - 1/1 = - 1
