Limit(sin(x)/x, x, 0)
Detail solution
Let's take the limit
$$\lim_{x \to 0^+}\left(\frac{\sin{\left(x \right)}}{x}\right)$$
$$\lim_{x \to 0^+}\left(\frac{\sin{\left(x \right)}}{x}\right) = \lim_{u \to 0^+}\left(\frac{\sin{\left(u \right)}}{u}\right)$$
=
$$\lim_{u \to 0^+}\left(\frac{\sin{\left(u \right)}}{u}\right)$$
The limit
$$\lim_{u \to 0^+}\left(\frac{\sin{\left(u \right)}}{u}\right)$$
is first remarkable limit, is equal to 1.

The final answer:
$$\lim_{x \to 0^+}\left(\frac{\sin{\left(x \right)}}{x}\right) = 1$$
Lopital's rule
We have indeterminateness of type
0/0,

i.e. limit for the numerator is
$$\lim_{x \to 0^+} \sin{\left(x \right)} = 0$$
and limit for the denominator is
$$\lim_{x \to 0^+} x = 0$$
Let's take derivatives of the numerator and denominator until we eliminate indeterninateness.
$$\lim_{x \to 0^+}\left(\frac{\sin{\left(x \right)}}{x}\right)$$
=
$$\lim_{x \to 0^+}\left(\frac{\frac{d}{d x} \sin{\left(x \right)}}{\frac{d}{d x} x}\right)$$
=
$$\lim_{x \to 0^+} \cos{\left(x \right)}$$
=
$$\lim_{x \to 0^+} \cos{\left(x \right)}$$
=
$$1$$
It can be seen that we have applied Lopital's rule (we have taken derivatives with respect to the numerator and denominator) 1 time(s)
