lim x 0 s i n x = lim x 0 s i n x x × x \displaystyle\lim_{x\rightarrow 0} sin x =\displaystyle\lim_{x\rightarrow 0} \frac{sin x}{x}\times x = lim x 0 1 × 0 [ s i n c e , lim x 0 s i n x = 1 ] =\displaystyle\lim_{x\rightarrow 0} 1\times 0 [since,\displaystyle\lim_{x\rightarrow 0} sin x =1] = 0 =0

Moderator note:

You can just directly substitute x = 0 x=0 because sin ( x ) \sin(x) is continuous at x = 0 x=0 .

Just substitute x=0 in sin(x) therefore, sin(0) =0

a basic problem. one can just substitute x=0 to get the limit as the function is not indeterminate at x=0 or discontinous(which invariably means the former)

As s i n ( x ) sin(x) is continuous near x = 0 x=0 (because it is defined at x = 0 x=0 and its vicinity) , we have lim x 0 s i n x = s i n ( 0 ) = 1 \displaystyle\lim_{x\rightarrow 0} sin x = sin(0) = 1 .
