Answer

\[\mathbf{i}-3\mathbf{j}+\mathbf{k}\]

Work Step by Step

\[\begin{align} & \underset{t\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\left( \frac{\tan t}{t}\mathbf{i}-\frac{3t}{\sin t}\mathbf{j}+\sqrt{t+1}\mathbf{k} \right) \\ & \text{Evaluate the limit} \\ & =\underset{t\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{\tan t}{t}\mathbf{i}-\underset{t\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{3t}{\sin t}\mathbf{j}+\underset{t\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\sqrt{t+1}\mathbf{k} \\ & \text{Apply the L }\!\!'\!\!\text{ Hopitals Rule} \\ & \underset{t\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{\tan t}{t}=\underset{t\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{{{\sec }^{2}}t}{1}={{\sec }^{2}}0=1 \\ & \underset{t\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{3t}{\sin t}=\underset{t\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{3}{\cos t}=\frac{3}{\cos 0}=3 \\ & \text{Therefore,} \\ & =\underset{t\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{\tan t}{t}\mathbf{i}-\underset{t\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{3t}{\sin t}\mathbf{j}+\underset{t\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\sqrt{t+1}\mathbf{k} \\ & =\left( 1 \right)\mathbf{i}-\left( 3 \right)\mathbf{j}+\sqrt{0+1}\mathbf{k} \\ & =\mathbf{i}-3\mathbf{j}+\mathbf{k} \\ \end{align}\]
