# Understand the problem

True or false: $\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin x}{\log (1+\tan x)}=1$

Do you really need a hint? Try it first!

"Hint 1"
• Observe that the following limit is of the form $\frac 00$.
• Do you remember that we always solve the limits of the form $\frac 00$ and $\frac{\infty}{\infty}$ by L’Hospital’s Rule.
• Hint 2
• Consider $f(x)=sinx$ and $g(x)=log(1+tanx)$
• Compute $f ‘(x)=cosx$ and $g ‘(x) = sec^2(x)/(1+tanx)$
• Compute the limit of $f ‘(x)/g ‘(x)$
Hint 3
• Observe that the $lim f ‘(x)=1$ and $lim g ‘(x) =1$.
• Hence the value of the Limit is $1$.
• The statement is therefore TRUE.
