HINT



We have



$$frac1-cos(ax^2+bx+c)(x-alpha)^2=frac1-cos[a(x-alpha)(x-beta)]a^2(x-alpha)^2(x-beta)^2a^2(x-beta)^2$$



then refer to standard limit as $tto 0$



$$frac1-cos tt^2to frac12$$

    Recall that $lim_t to 0 frac1-cos tt^2 = frac12$.



    We have



    $$frac1-cos(ax^2+bx+c)(x-alpha)^2 = frac1-cos[a(x-alpha)(x-beta)](x-alpha)^2 = frac1-cos[a(x-alpha)(x-beta)][a(x-alpha)(x-beta)]^2cdot a^2(x-beta)^2 xrightarrowxtoalpha frac12a^2(alpha-beta)^2$$

    Hint. Use the Taylor series of
    $$
    cos(a(x-alpha)(x+beta))
    $$
    around $alpha$. That is
    $$
    cos(a(x-alpha)(x+beta))= 1-frac12(alpha-beta)^2(x-alpha)^2a^2+o((x-alpha)^3)
    $$
