Trigonometric Limits

In the trigonometric limit, apart from using the method of direct substitution, factorization and rationalization (same as given in algebraic limits), we can use the following formulae.

(i) $\lim _{\mathbf{x} \rightarrow \mathbf{0}} \frac{\sin \mathrm{x}}{\mathbf{x}}=\mathbf{1}$
(ii) $\lim _{\mathbf{x} \rightarrow \mathbf{0}} \frac{\tan \mathrm{x}}{\mathbf{x}}=\mathbf{1}$

As $\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\tan x}{x}=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin x}{x} \times \frac{1}{\cos x}$

$
=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin x}{x} \times \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{1}{\cos x}=1 \times 1
$

(iii) $\lim _{\mathbf{x} \rightarrow \mathbf{a}} \frac{\sin (\mathbf{x}-\mathbf{a})}{\mathbf{x}-\mathbf{a}}=\mathbf{1}$

As $\lim _{x \rightarrow a} \frac{\sin (x-a)}{x-a}=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin ((a+h)-a)}{(a+h)-a}$

$
\begin{aligned}
& =\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin h}{h} \\
& =1
\end{aligned}
$

(iv) $\lim _{\mathbf{x} \rightarrow \mathrm{a}} \frac{\tan (\mathbf{x}-\mathbf{a})}{\mathbf{x}-\mathbf{a}}=\mathbf{1}$
(v) $\lim _{x \rightarrow a} \frac{\sin (f(x))}{f(x)}=1$, if $\lim _{x \rightarrow a} f(x)=0$

Similarly, $\quad \lim _{x \rightarrow a} \frac{\tan (f(x))}{f(x)}=1$, if $\lim _{x \rightarrow a} f(x)=0$
(vi) $\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \cos x=1$

(vii) $\lim _{\mathrm{x} \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin ^{-1} \mathrm{x}}{\mathrm{x}}=1$

As $\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin ^{-1} x}{x}=\lim _{y \rightarrow 0} \frac{y}{\sin y} \quad\left[\because \sin ^{-1} x=y\right]$
$=1$
(viii) $\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\tan ^{-1} x}{x}=1$
