Math Problem Statement

1 - cos(x) over x

Solution

The expression in the image appears to be:

1cos(x)x\frac{1 - \cos(x)}{x}

Would you like to evaluate this expression for specific values of xx, analyze its behavior as x0x \to 0, or perform some other operation on it? Let me know how you'd like to proceed!

Related Questions:

  1. How does this expression behave as xx approaches 0?
  2. What is the derivative of this function with respect to xx?
  3. Can this expression be simplified using trigonometric identities?
  4. What is the Taylor series expansion of cos(x)\cos(x) near x=0x = 0, and how can it be used to approximate the expression?
  5. How would this expression change if it were in terms of other trigonometric functions like sine or tangent?

Tip: In calculus, limits involving trigonometric functions like 1cos(x)x\frac{1 - \cos(x)}{x} often arise in the study of derivatives and series expansions.
