In the unit circle consideran arc AC = 9, which for convenience we suppose to lie between 0 and |- AD, BC, and OB are respectively tan 9,sin 9, and cos 9. From the figure it isobvious that area OAD > area OAC > area geometry Hence. area OAD = \ tan 0; area OAC- = i 0; area OBC = \ sin 9 cos 9. tan 9 > 9 > sin 9 cos 9, > -— > COS 9, cos 9 sin 9 n ^ smflcos 9 < < cos 91 Now let 6 = 0 (C = A): then cos 9 = 1, and = 1. cos 9 Hence, since sin 9 lies always between cos 9 and , the limit of the function is also 1. cos 9 That is I» lim —3— = 1. 9=0 e Example 4. To determine lim 0=0 1 — cos 9 Solution. There is no loss of generality in taking 9 at such a stage of3 variation that either 0 <cos 9 is positive. We have its variation that either 0 < 9 0>-^,so that in either case 1— cos 1— cos2fl 1 + COS 9 sm2fl1 + cos 9 < sin2 9. 22 DIFFERENTIAL CALCULUS §12 Further, sin 6 < 6 and sin2 6 < 6 sin 6. Hence, because 1 — cos d is positive,we have i cos 0 0 < 1 — cos e < 6 sin 0, and 0 < < sin 6. e But lim sin 6 = 0; therefore, 0=0 -r-r «• 1 —cos© -IT. lim s = 0. 12.
