7.12 Solutions to Cumulative Review Problems
- The expression
lim
h→ 0sin(
π
2
+h)
−sin(
π
2)h
is
the derivative of sinxatx=π/2, which is
the slope of the tangent to sinxat
x=π/2. The tangent to sinxatx=π/2is
parallel to thex-axis.
Therefore, the slope is 0, i.e.,limh→ 0sin(
π
2
+h)
−sin(
π

An alternate method is to expand
