We can see this limit as a derivative:

lim h 0 ( 1 + h ) cos ( h 2 ) 1 h = d d x ( x cos ( x 1 ) 2 ) x = 1 = d d x ( e cos ( x 1 ) 2 ln x ) x = 1 \lim_{h\to 0} \frac{(1+h)^{\cos(h^2)}-1}{h} =\frac{d}{dx}\left(x^{\cos(x-1)^2}\right)|_{x=1} =\frac{d}{dx}\left(e^{\cos(x-1)^2\ln x}\right)|_{x=1} = e cos ( x 1 ) 2 ln x ( cos ( x 1 ) 2 1 x sin ( x 1 ) 2 ln x 2 ( x 1 ) ) x = 1 =e^{\cos(x-1)^2\ln x}\cdot (\cos(x-1)^2\frac1x-\sin(x-1)^2\cdot\ln x \cdot 2(x-1)) |_{x=1} = 1 ( 1 0 ) = 1 . =1(1-0)=\boxed{1}.
