trigonometry - Limit of frac1cosxsinx



I don't understand the rewriting that's being done in this limit:



lim




Why doesn't this simplify to \frac{\sin x}{\sin x}?


Answer



It doesn't. You can use l'Hospital to get
\lim_{x\to0} \frac{1-\cos x}{\sin x} = \lim_{x\to0} \frac{\sin x}{\cos x} = \tan 0 = 0
