Let g(x)=sin⁡xg(x)=\sin x for all real xx. a. (i) Show that sin⁡(x+h)−sin⁡x=2cos⁡ ⁣(x+h2)sin⁡ ⁣(h2)\sin(x+h)-\sin x=2\cos\!\left(x+\dfrac{h}{2}\right)\sin\!\left(\dfrac{h}{2}\right). b. (ii) Using the result of part (i), evaluate lim⁡h→0sin⁡(x+h)−sin⁡xh\displaystyle\lim_{h\to 0}\frac{\sin(x+h)-\sin x}{h} for an arbitrary real number xx. Give your answer in its simplest trigonometric form. c. (iii) State the derivative of gg at an arbitrary point xx.
