$lim_{x \to π} \tan (x)$

Step 1

Move the limit inside the trig function because tangent is continuous.

$\tan (lim_{x \to π} x)$

Step 2

Evaluate the limit of $x$ by plugging in $π$ for $x$ .

$\tan (π)$

Step 3

Simplify the answer.

Step 3.1

Apply the reference angle by finding the angle with equivalent trig values in the first quadrant. Make the expression negative because tangent is negative in the second quadrant.

$- \tan (0)$

Step 3.2

The exact value of $\tan (0)$ is $0$ .

$- 0$

Step 3.3

Multiply $- 1$ by $0$ .

$0$
