Answer

$$0$$

Work Step by Step

\begin{aligned} \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\cos 2 x-1}{\sin x} &=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0}\left(\frac{\cos 2 x-1}{\sin x} \cdot \frac{\cos 2 x+1}{\cos 2 x+1}\right)\\ &=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\cos ^{2} 2 x-1}{\sin x(\cos 2 x+1)}\\ &=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{-\sin ^{2} 2 x}{\sin x(\cos 2 x+1)} \\ &=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{-4 \sin x \cos ^{2} x}{\cos 2 x+1}\\ &=\frac{-4(0)(1)^{2}}{1+1}\\ &=0 \end{aligned}
