Question
ple tell me method how to find the limit of trigometri function

Answer
If you're looking for the limit as x goes to infinity of a trig function, there is not one
since the trig functions are cyclic.

If you're looking for the limit as x goes to infinity of a trig function over x,
the limit is 0 for sin() and cos().  There is no limit for the other functions.

If you're looking for a limit as x->0 of any function, the limit is the value at 0.

If you're looking for a limit as x->0 of any function over x,
the only ones that exist are sin(x)/x and tan(x)/x.

It is known that the lim(x->0)(sin(x)/x) = 1.
It is also known that the lim(x->0)(tan(x)/x) = lim(x->0)(sin(x)/(x*cos(x))) =
lim(x->0)(sin(x)/x)*lim(x->0)(1/cos(x)) = 1*1 = 1.

If you would like something more specific, I could answer it if asked.

Any kind of calculus question you want. I also have answered some questions in Physics (mass, momentum, falling bodies), Chemistry (charge, reactions, symbols, molecules), and Biology.

Experience

Experience in the area: I have tutored students in all areas of mathematics for over 25 years. Education/Credentials: BSand MS in Mathematics from Oregon State University, where I completed sophomore course in Physics and Chemistry. I received both degrees with high honors. Awards and Honors: I have passed Actuarial tests 100, 110, and 135.

Publications
Maybe not a publication, but I have respond to well oveer 7,500 questions on the PC. Well over 2,000 of them have been in calculus.

Education/Credentials
I aquired well over 40 hours of upper division courses. This was well over the number that were required. I graduated with honors in both my BS and MS degree from Oregon State University. I was allowed to jump into a few junior level courses my sophomore year.

Awards and Honors
I have been nominated as the expert of the month several times. All of my scores right now are at least a 9.8 average (out of 10).

Past/Present Clients
My past clients have been students at OSU, students at the college in South Seattle, referals from a company, friends and aquantenances, people from my church, and people like you from all over the world.
