Step 1.1

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

$\frac{\tan (lim_{x \to 0} 3 x)}{\sin (8 x)}$

Step 1.2

Move the term $3$ outside of the limit because it is constant with respect to $x$ .

$\frac{\tan (3 lim_{x \to 0} x)}{\sin (8 x)}$

Step 2

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

$\frac{\tan (3 \cdot 0)}{\sin (8 x)}$
