Question #c11af Calculus Differentiating Trigonometric Functions Limits Involving Trigonometric Functions 1 Answer Andrea S. Jan 16, 2017 #lim_(x->0) (1-cos(2x))/x^2 = 2# Explanation: Use the identity: #sin^2x = (1-cos(2x))/2# So: #lim_(x->0) (1-cos(2x))/x^2 = lim_(x->0) 2 sin^2x/x^2 = 2 lim_(x->0)(sinx/x)^2 = 2# Answer link Related questions How do you find the limit of inverse trig functions?
