As cos(x+π)=cosx then it's the same as
limx01cosx1cos3x
As
cos3x=4cos3x3cosx
it's the same as
limx01cosx1+3cosx4cos3x=limx011+4cosx+4cos2x
etc.

Enforcing t=πx and given the classical limit,
limx01cosxx2=12
we have
limtπ1+cost1+cos3t
=limx01cosx1cos3x=19limx01cosxx2(3x)21cos3x
=19limx01cosxx2limx0(3x)21cos3x
=19limx01cosxx2limh0h21cosh
=19
