Understanding Limits in Trigonometric Functions

The video tutorial explains how to determine limits for trigonometric functions like cosine, sine, and tangent as x approaches specific values. It covers the domain and continuity of these functions, using direct substitution and reference triangles to find limits. The tutorial also discusses the behavior of the tangent function near vertical asymptotes, concluding that the limit does not exist in such cases.
