Step 1
Step 1.1
Take the limit of the numerator and the limit of the denominator.
Step 1.2
Evaluate the limit of the numerator.
Step 1.2.1
Evaluate the limit.
Step 1.2.1.1
Move the limit inside the trig function because sine is continuous.
Step 1.2.1.2
Move the exponent from outside the limit using the Limits Power Rule.
Step 1.2.2
Evaluate the limit of by plugging in for .
Step 1.2.3
Simplify the answer.
Step 1.2.3.1
Raising to any positive power yields .
Step 1.2.3.2
The exact value of is .
Step 1.3
Evaluate the limit of by plugging in for .
Step 1.4
The expression contains a division by . The expression is undefined.
Undefined
Step 2
Since is of indeterminate form, apply L'Hospital's Rule. L'Hospital's Rule states that the limit of a quotient of functions is equal to the limit of the quotient of their derivatives.
