Step 1.1

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

$\frac{\sin (lim_{x \to 0} 8 x)}{\tan (x)}$

Step 1.2

Move the term $8$ outside of the limit because it is constant with respect to $x$ .

$\frac{\sin (8 lim_{x \to 0} x)}{\tan (x)}$

Step 2

Evaluate the limit of $x$ by plugging in $0$ for $x$ .

$\frac{\sin (8 \cdot 0)}{\tan (x)}$

Step 3

Step 3.1

Rewrite $\tan (x)$ in terms of sines and cosines.

$\frac{\sin (8 \cdot 0)}{\frac{\sin (x)}{\cos (x)}}$

Step 3.2

Multiply by the reciprocal of the fraction to divide by $\frac{\sin (x)}{\cos (x)}$ .

$\sin (8 \cdot 0) \frac{\cos (x)}{\sin (x)}$

Step 3.3

Write $\sin (8 \cdot 0)$ as a fraction with denominator $1$ .

$\frac{\sin (8 \cdot 0)}{1} \cdot \frac{\cos (x)}{\sin (x)}$

Step 3.4.1

Divide $\sin (8 \cdot 0)$ by $1$ .

$\sin (8 \cdot 0) \frac{\cos (x)}{\sin (x)}$

Step 3.4.2

Combine $\sin (8 \cdot 0)$ and $\frac{\cos (x)}{\sin (x)}$ .

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

$\frac{0 \cos (x)}{\sin (x)}$

Step 3.7

Multiply $0$ by $\cos (x)$ .

$\frac{0}{\sin (x)}$

Step 3.8

Divide $0$ by $\sin (x)$ .

$0$
