Trig Functions Category 2: Sine Limit Identity

The second category of trig function limit is the Sine Limit Identity. Basically, they give you an identity for a very specific sine limit, and then you must be able to identify and use that identity.

Definition: Sine Limit Identity

lim x → 0 ⁡ sin (x) x = 1

OR

lim x → 0 ⁡ x sin (x) = 1

Note:

–           The limit identity only applies for x → 0 .

–           The limit identity works the same no matter which format you have for the original limit.

–           The limit has the same value as long as whatever is inside the sine function, x , matches exactly with the piece on the other side of the fraction, x .

For example, lim x → 0 ⁡ sin (3 x) 3 x = 1
