Answer
The detailed explanations are below.
Work Step by Step
The graphs of $y=\cos x$ and $y=\frac{\sin(x+h)-\sin x}{h}$ are below.
1) On the left graph, as $h$ gets larger from $-1$ (the blue curve) to $-0.3$ (the purple curve), the curve of the function $y=\frac{\sin(x+h)-\sin x}{h}$ gets closer and apparently matches up with the curve of the function $y=\cos x$.
We can generalize this by saying that as $h\to0^-$, $$\lim_{h\to0^-}\frac{\sin(x+h)-\sin x}{h}=\cos x$$
2) Similarly, on the right graph, as $h$ gets smaller from $1$ (the blue curve) to $0.1$ (the black curve), the curve of the function $y=\frac{\sin(x+h)-\sin x}{h}$ gets closer and apparently matches up with the curve of the function $y=\cos x$.
We can generalize this by saying that as $h\to0^+$, $$\lim_{h\to0^+}\frac{\sin(x+h)-\sin x}{h}=\cos x$$
Therefore, as the left-hand and right-hand limits are equal, $$\lim_{h\to0}\frac{\sin(x+h)-\sin x}{h}=\cos x$$
However, according to the definition of derivative, we also have $$\lim_{h\to0^+}\frac{\sin(x+h)-\sin x}{h}=\frac{d}{dx}(\sin x)$$
That means, $$\frac{d}{dx}(\sin x)=\cos x$$
So this exercise demonstrates the fact that the derivative of $\sin x$ is $\cos x$.
