Find the limit: lim θ->0 cos θ tanθ/θ
since cos(0) = 1 this is just a silly little trig game
unless im reding it wrong; then its a difficult silly little trig game :)
rewrite as sin(t)/t
goes to 1
\[\cos(\theta) \cdot \frac{\sin(\theta)}{\cos(\theta)}\cdot \frac{1}{\theta} =\frac{\cos(\theta)}{\cos(\theta)} \cdot \frac{\sin(\theta)}{\theta}\]

they want you to say "oh i know , this is \[\lim_{\theta \rightarrow 0}\frac{\sin(\theta)}{\theta}\] and i learned that one last week
as sin(t) and t get close zero; they pretty much converge onto each other so that they go to 1
\[\lim_{\theta \rightarrow 0}\frac{\cos(\theta)}{\cos(\theta)} \cdot \frac{\sin(\theta)}{\theta}=\lim_{\theta \rightarrow 0}\frac{\sin(\theta)}{\theta}=1\]

there is a "ask a question" box to the top left of the screen; use that to ask questions in, it will get more of an audience that way
