Answer

$$ \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{e^{x}-1}{\tan x}=1 $$

Work Step by Step

$$ \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{e^{x}-1}{\tan x} $$ notice that as $ \quad x \rightarrow 0 \quad $ we have $ \quad e^{x}-1 \rightarrow 0 \quad $ and $ \quad \tan x \rightarrow 0 $ so that we have an indeterminate form of type $\frac{0}{0}$ and by l’Hospital’s Rule we gives: $$ \begin{aligned} \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{e^{x}-1}{\tan x} & \quad\quad \rightarrow \frac{0}{0}\\ & \stackrel{\mathrm{H}}{=} \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{e^{x}}{\sec ^{2} x}\\ &=\frac{1}{1}\\ &=1 \end{aligned} $$
