Answer

$$0$$

Work Step by Step

We evaluate the limit: \begin{align*} \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\cos x-1}{\sin x}&=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\cos x-1}{\sin x} \cdot \frac{\cos x+1}{\cos x+1}\\ &=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{-\sin ^{2} x}{\sin x(\cos x+1)}\\ &=-\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin x}{\cos x+1}\\ &=-\frac{0}{1+1}=0 \end{align*}
