In mathematical research, some important and typical problems are often studied and summarized, in the hope that solving these problems will lead to the solution of a series of related problems. The two important limits introduced in this paragraph embody such a By using these ideas and through the identity deformation of functions:and the operation rules of limits, two types of commonly used limit calculation problems can be solved.
1.
Proof : Since is an even function , we only need to discuss the case of .
[ Animation ]
Construct the unit circle ( see the figure above ) and set the angles
,
The tangent line at point intersects the extension line of at , because
,
so
,
According to the commonly used formula for calculating area , we have
Triangle area sector area triangle area,
There is
,
thereby
,
Organize, get
,
From ( the previous example in this section ) and the pinching criterion , we get
.
