     /1 - cos(x)\
 lim |----------|
x->0+\   2*x    /
$$\lim_{x \to 0^+}\left(\frac{1 - \cos{\left(x \right)}}{2 x}\right)$$
Limit((1 - cos(x))/((2*x)), x, 0)
Lopital's rule
We have indeterminateness of type
0/0,

i.e. limit for the numerator is
$$\lim_{x \to 0^+}\left(1 - \cos{\left(x \right)}\right) = 0$$
and limit for the denominator is
$$\lim_{x \to 0^+}\left(2 x\right) = 0$$
Let's take derivatives of the numerator and denominator until we eliminate indeterninateness.
$$\lim_{x \to 0^+}\left(\frac{1 - \cos{\left(x \right)}}{2 x}\right)$$
=
Let's transform the function under the limit a few
$$\lim_{x \to 0^+}\left(\frac{1 - \cos{\left(x \right)}}{2 x}\right)$$
=
$$\lim_{x \to 0^+}\left(\frac{\frac{d}{d x} \left(1 - \cos{\left(x \right)}\right)}{\frac{d}{d x} 2 x}\right)$$
=
$$\lim_{x \to 0^+}\left(\frac{\sin{\left(x \right)}}{2}\right)$$
=
$$\lim_{x \to 0^+}\left(\frac{\sin{\left(x \right)}}{2}\right)$$
=
$$0$$
It can be seen that we have applied Lopital's rule (we have taken derivatives with respect to the numerator and denominator) 1 time(s)
