Limits and Trigonometric Functions

The video tutorial covers the concept of trigonometric limits, focusing on the limits of sin(x)/x and its reciprocal as x approaches zero. It explains how these limits equal one and introduces the limit involving cosine, which equals zero. The tutorial demonstrates how to apply these limits to solve problems, including transforming expressions to match known limit forms and breaking down complex expressions into simpler parts. The video emphasizes recognizing patterns and using substitution to simplify limit calculations.
