Numerator \[ N= 1 -e^x = 1 +x -1-x -\frac {x^2}{2!} - \frac {x^3}{3!}- \cdots =-x^2 \left (\frac {1}{2!} + \frac {x}{3!} +\cdots \right) \]

Denominator \[ D= 1-\cos(x) = 1 -1 +\frac{x^2}{2!} -\frac{x^4}{4!}+ \cdots = x^2\left( \frac{1}{2!} -\frac{x^2}{4!}+ \cdots\right) \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac {N}{D} =\frac {-x^2 \left (\frac {1}{2!} + \frac {x}{3!} +\cdots \right)} {x^2\left( \frac{1}{2!} -\frac{x^2}{4!}+ \cdots\right)}=\\ \frac {- \left (\frac {1}{2!} + \frac {x}{3!} +\cdots \right)} { \left( \frac{1}{2!} -\frac{x^2}{4!}+ \cdots\right)}-> -1 \] as x goes to zero.
