Answer

\begin{aligned} \lim _{x \rightarrow 0}\frac{\tan 3 x }{\sin 8 x}= \frac{3}{8} \end{aligned}

Work Step by Step

Given $$\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\tan 3 x }{\sin 8 x} $$ So, we get \begin{aligned} L&=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0}\frac{\tan 3 x }{\sin 8 x}\\ &= \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\tan 3 x}{1} \frac{1}{\sin 8 x} \\ &= \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\tan 3 x}{ x} \frac{ x}{\sin 8 x} \\ &= 3\lim _{x\rightarrow 0} \frac{\tan 3 x}{3 x} \cdot \frac{1}{8}\lim _{x \rightarrow 0}\frac{ 8x}{\sin 8 x} \\ &=3\cdot 1 \cdot \frac{1}{8} \lim _{x \rightarrow 0}\frac{ 8x}{\sin 8 x} \\ &= \frac{3}{8}\frac{1}{ \lim \limits _{x \rightarrow 0}\frac{ \sin 8x}{ 8 x} }\\ &= \frac{3}{8}\cdot\frac{1}{ 1 }\\ &= \frac{3}{8} \end{aligned}
