From a page of trig formulas, for angles A and B, cos(A + B) = cos(A)cos(B) - sin(A)sin(B) limh→0cos(c+h)=\displaystyle \lim_{h \to 0} cos(c + h) =h→0limcos(c+h)= limh→0[cos(c)cos(h)−sin(c)sin(h)]=\displaystyle \lim_{h \to 0}[cos(c)cos(h) - sin(c)sin(h)] =h→0lim[cos(c)cos(h)−sin(c)sin(h)]=. . . .I left off here.\displaystyle . \ . \ . \ .

Ask yourself as to what limh→0cos(h)\displaystyle \lim_{h \to 0}cos(h)h→0limcos(h) is and what limh→0sin(h)\displaystyle \lim_{h \to 0}sin(h)h→0limsin(h) is. Then continue where I left off.
