lim_(x→0) (cosx)^(1/x^2 ) =lim_(x→0) (1−(x^2 /2))^(((−2)/x^2 ).(−(1/2))) =e^(−(1/2)) =(1/( (√e)))

$$\underset{{x}\rightarrow\mathrm{0}} {\mathrm{lim}}\left({cosx}\right)^{\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{x}^{\mathrm{2}} }} =\underset{{x}\rightarrow\mathrm{0}} {\mathrm{lim}}\left(\mathrm{1}−\frac{{x}^{\mathrm{2}} }{\mathrm{2}}\right)^{\frac{−\mathrm{2}}{{x}^{\mathrm{2}} }.\left(−\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}\right)} ={e}^{−\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}} =\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\:\sqrt{{e}}} \\ $$

Another way  (cosx)^(1/x^2 ) =y  lim_(x→0) (1/x^2 )log(cosx)=logy  lim_(x→0) (1/x^2 )log(1+cosx−1)=logy  lim_(x→0) ((cosx−1)/x^2 )=logy              lim_(x→0) log(1+x)=x  lim_(x→0) ((−2sin^2 (x/2))/x^2 )=logy  logy=−(1/2)⇒y=(1/( (√e)))

lim_(x→1) ((2cos^2 ((πx)/2))/((x−1)^2 ))=lim_(x→1) ((2sin^2 ((π/2)−(π/2)x))/((x−1)^2 ))  =lim_(x→1) 2.((((π^2 /4))(1−x)^2 )/((x−1)^2 ))=(π^2 /2)
