Answer

$$\frac{-9}{50} $$

Work Step by Step

Given $$\lim_{h\to 0 }\frac{1-\cos 3h}{ \cos^25h-1}$$ Then \begin{align*} \lim_{h\to 0 }\frac{1-\cos 3h}{ \cos^25h-1}&=\lim_{h\to 0 }\frac{2\sin^2(3h/2)}{ -\sin^25h}\\ &=-2\lim_{h\to 0 }\frac{\frac{9h^2/4}{9h^2/4}\sin^2(3h/2)}{ \frac{25h^2}{25h^2} \sin^25h}\\ &=-2\frac{9/4\left(\lim_{h\to 0 } \frac{\sin 3h/2}{3h/2}\right)^2}{ \lim_{h\to 0 }25\left(\frac{\sin(5h)}{5h }\right)^2 }\\ &=\frac{-9}{50} \end{align*}
