The correct Answer is:
To evaluate the limit \[ \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{e^{\sin x} - 1}{x}, \] we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Recognize the form of the limit As \( x \) approaches 0, both the numerator \( e^{\sin x} - 1 \) and the denominator \( x \) approach 0. This gives us a \( \frac{0}{0} \) indeterminate form, which allows us to apply L'Hôpital's Rule or manipulate the expression. **Hint:** Check if the limit results in an indeterminate form to decide the next steps. ### Step 2: Rewrite the expression We can rewrite the limit by multiplying and dividing by \( \sin x \): \[ \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{e^{\sin x} - 1}{x} = \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{e^{\sin x} - 1}{\sin x} \cdot \frac{\sin x}{x}. \] **Hint:** This step helps to separate the limit into two parts, making it easier to evaluate. ### Step 3: Evaluate the first limit Now we evaluate the first limit: \[ \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{e^{\sin x} - 1}{\sin x}. \] We can recognize that as \( x \to 0 \), \( \sin x \to 0 \) as well. This limit is of the form \( \frac{0}{0} \), so we can apply L'Hôpital's Rule: 1. Differentiate the numerator: the derivative of \( e^{\sin x} \) is \( e^{\sin x} \cos x \). 2. Differentiate the denominator: the derivative of \( \sin x \) is \( \cos x \). Thus, we have: \[ \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{e^{\sin x} \cos x}{\cos x} = \lim_{x \to 0} e^{\sin x} = e^{0} = 1. \] **Hint:** Use L'Hôpital's Rule when you encounter \( \frac{0}{0} \) forms. ### Step 4: Evaluate the second limit Now we evaluate the second limit: \[ \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\sin x}{x}. \] This is a well-known limit, and it equals 1. **Hint:** Remember that \( \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\sin x}{x} = 1 \). ### Step 5: Combine the results Now we can combine the results from the two limits: \[ \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{e^{\sin x} - 1}{x} = \left( \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{e^{\sin x} - 1}{\sin x} \right) \cdot \left( \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\sin x}{x} \right) = 1 \cdot 1 = 1. \] ### Final Answer Thus, the limit is \[ \boxed{1}. \]
