1ste manier :
\(\displaystyle\lim_{x\to 0}\:\frac{\cos ax\:-\:1}{x^2}=\displaystyle\lim_{x\to 0}\:\frac{(\cos ax\:-\:1)(\cos ax+1)}{x^2(\cos ax+1)}=\displaystyle\lim_{x\to 0}\:\frac{\cos^2ax\:-\:1}{x^2(\cos ax+1)}\\=\displaystyle\lim_{x\to 0}\:\frac{-\sin^2ax}{x^2(\cos ax+1)}=-a^2\displaystyle\lim_{x\to 0}\:\frac{\sin ax.\sin ax}{ax.ax}.\displaystyle\lim_{x\to 0}\:\frac{1}{\cos ax+1}\\=-a^2.1.1.\frac{1}{1+1}=-\frac{a^2}{2}\)
2de manier : met de regel van de L'Hospital
\overset{H}{=}\displaystyle\lim_{x\to&space;0}\:\frac{-a\sin&space;ax}{2x}=-\frac{a^2}{2}.\displaystyle\lim_{x\to&space;0}\:\frac{\sin&space;ax}{ax}=-\frac{a^2}{2}.1=-\frac{a^2}{2} "\\\displaystyle\lim_{x\to 0}\:\frac{\cos ax\:-\:1}{x^2}\left(=\frac00\right)\overset{H}{=}\displaystyle\lim_{x\to 0}\:\frac{-a\sin ax}{2x}=-\frac{a^2}{2}.\displaystyle\lim_{x\to 0}\:\frac{\sin ax}{ax}=-\frac{a^2}{2}.1=-\frac{a^2}{2}")
