Solution :-

Given:

f(x) = cos x

By using the derivative formula,

\( \lim\limits_{h \to 0} \dfrac{cosh-1}{h} \)

\( \lim\limits_{h \to 0} \dfrac{-(1-cosh)}{h} \)

\(- \lim\limits_{h \to 0} \dfrac{2sin^2\dfrac{h}{2}}{h} \)

By using algebra of limits we get

\( - \lim\limits_{h \to 0} \dfrac{sin\dfrac{h}{2}}{\dfrac{h}{2}}\times \lim\limits_{h \to 0} h \)

\( f'(0) = -1\times 0=0\)

Derivative off(x) = cosx at x  = 0 is 0
