x → 0 lim x tan x = ( x → 0 lim x sin x ) ( x → 0 lim cos x 1 ) = 1 ⋅ 1 = 1

x → 0 lim x tan ( x ) = x → 0 lim ( x − 0 tan ( x ) − 0 ) = x → 0 lim ( x − 0 tan ( x ) − tan ( 0 ) ) which is the definition of the derivative evaluated at 0 . We know that: d x d tan x = sec 2 x . Therefore our limit equals: sec 2 ( 0 ) = cos 2 ( 0 ) 1 = 1 1 = 1 .
