9. Given that \(x\) is measured in radians, prove, from the first principles, that $$\frac { \mathrm { d } } { \mathrm {~d} x } ( \sin x ) = \cos x$$ You may assume the formula for \(\sin ( A \pm B )\) and that as \(h \rightarrow 0 , \frac { \sin h } { h } \rightarrow 1\) and \(\frac { \cos h - 1 } { h } \rightarrow 0\).
