THEOREM 1.

9 TWO SPECIAL TRIGONOMETRIC LIMITS

1. sin x =1 x 0 x lim 2.
x 0

lim

1 cos x =0 x

Proof: To avoid the confusion of two dierent uses of x, the proof is presented using the variable , where is an acute positive angle measured in radians. Figure 1:3 shows a circular sector that squeezed between two triangles. Area of triangle 1 area of sector area of triangle 2. sin tan 2 2 2
2 Multiplying each other by sin

produces

1 1 cos sin and taking reciprocals and reversing the inequalities yields sin 1. ( )] = [sin , you can conclude that this Because cos = cos() and sin ( ) inequality is valid for all nonzero in the open interval ( , ). Finally, 2 2 because lim cos = 1 cos

lim 1 = 1

, you can apply the Squeeze Theorem to conclude that sin =1 0 lim . 1
