Note that sin(0) = 0 and cos(0) = 1
:
as theta approaches 0 the expression approaches (1-1) / (8*0) = 0 / 0
:
Note that 0 / 0 is indeterminant
:
Reference L'Hôpital's Rule for 0 / 0
:
The first derivative of sin is cos and first derivative of cos is sin
:
for first derivative evaluation, we get 0 / 8 = 0
