Answer

$$\frac{3}{7}$$

Work Step by Step

Given $$ \lim _{x \rightarrow \pi / 2^{-}} \sec 7 x \cos 3 x $$ Then \begin{align*} \lim _{x \rightarrow \pi / 2^{-}} \sec 7 x \cos 3 x&=\lim _{x \rightarrow \pi / 2^{-}} \frac{\cos 3 x}{\cos 7 x}, \ \ \ \text{Using L'Hopital's rule } \\ &=\lim _{x \rightarrow \pi / 2^{-}} \frac{-3\sin 3 x}{-7\sin 7 x}\\ &=\frac{3}{7} \end{align*}
