# Evaluate limit as x approaches zero of (sin(x)) divide(five x)

Evaluate limit as x approaches 0 of (sin(x))/(5x)
Move the term outside of the limit because it is constant with respect to .
The limit of as approaches is .
Evaluate the limit of the numerator and the limit of the denominator.
Take the limit of the numerator and the limit of the denominator.
Evaluate the limit of the numerator.
