Dense subset for $C_0(\mathbb{R})$

I want to know if $\{\frac{(1-\cos \alpha x)} {x^2}\}_{\alpha\in\mathbb{R}}$ is dense in $C_0(\mathbb{R})=\{f\in C(\mathbb{R})|\lim_{|x|\to\infty}f(x)=0\}$? That is, for any $f\in C_0(\mathbb{R})$ and $\epsilon >0,$ there is some $\alpha_1,\alpha_2,\cdots,\alpha_n$ and $a_1,a_2,\cdots,a_n$ such that $$\max_{x\in\mathbb{R}}|f(x)-\sum_{k=1}^na_k\frac{(1-\cos \alpha_k x)} {x^2}|<\epsilon.$$
