As X approaches infinity it approaches close as you like to 0. so, sin(-1/2)

The "value" of the function at x = 2 is (x+2)/(x-2) so the answer is plus or minus infinity depending on whether x approaches 2 from >2 or <2, respectively.
So, we want the limit of (sin2(x))/x as x approaches 0. We can use L'Hopital's Rule: If you haven't learned derivatives yet, please send me a message and I will both provide you with a different way to solve this problem and teach you derivatives! Using L'Hopital's Rule yields: the limit of (sin2(x))/x as x approaches 0=the limit of (2sinxcosx)/1 as x approaches zero. Plugging in, we, get that the limit is 2sin(0)cos(0)/1=2(0)(1)=0. So the original limit in question is zero.
The limit is 1.

The intensity of a wave varies with the square of the cosine of the angle of incidence. This relationship is known as the cosine squared law. As the angle of incidence increases, the intensity of the wave decreases due to the spreading of energy over a larger area. It is an important concept in understanding how light behaves when interacting with surfaces.
Multiply both sides by sin(1-cos) and you lose the denominators and get (sin squared) minus 1+cos times 1-cos. Then multiply out (i.e. expand) 1+cos times 1-cos, which will of course give the difference of two squares: 1 - (cos squared). (because the cross terms cancel out.) (This is diff of 2 squares because 1 is the square of 1.) And so you get (sin squared) - (1 - (cos squared)) = (sin squared) + (cos squared) - 1. Then from basic trig we know that (sin squared) + (cos squared) = 1, so this is 0.
Cosine to the negative first power and cosine cancel each other out because cosine to the negative first power is one over cosine, and one over anything times anything is just one.
If working in radians, the cosine of one-quarter of pi is equal to the square root of 0.5. Squaring this gives 0.5, or exactly one-half.
The cosine of 0.489957 radians is 15/17
cosine 45° = √2/2 (Square root of 2 over 2)
