lim_(x→0) ((e^(1−sinx) −e^(1−tanx) )/(tanx−sinx))=?

$$\underset{{x}\rightarrow\mathrm{0}} {\mathrm{lim}}\frac{{e}^{\mathrm{1}−\mathrm{sin}{x}} −{e}^{\mathrm{1}−\mathrm{tan}{x}} }{\mathrm{tan}{x}−\mathrm{sin}{x}}=? \\ $$

Let l=lim_(x→0) ((e^(1−sinx) −e^(1−tanx) )/(tanx−sinx)).  Observe that  ((e^(1−sinx) −e^(1−tanx) )/(tanx−sinx))=((e^(1−sinx) (1−e^(1−tanx+sinx−1) ))/(tanx−sinx))                    =((e^(1−sinx) (1−e^(−(tanx−sinx)) ))/(tanx−sinx))                    =e^(1−sinx) ((1−e^(−(tanx−sinx)) )/(tanx−sinx)).  Therefore, using lim_(r→a) {f(r)g(r)}={lim_(r→a) f(r)}{lim_(r→a) g(r)},  we get   l={lim_(x→0) e^(1−sinx) }{lim_(x→0) ((1−e^(−(tanx−sinx)) )/(tanx−sinx))}.  l={e^(1−sin0) }×m  l=e^(1−0) ×m  l=e×m   where m=lim_(x→0) ((1−e^(−(tanx−sinx)) )/(tanx−sinx)).  Let u=tanx−sinx. ∴ As x→0,  tanx−sinx→tan0−sin0=0. ∴ u→0.  So, m=lim_(u→0) ((1−e^(−u) )/u). Employing the   Maclaurin′s series expansion of   e^u =Σ_(r=0) ^∞ (u^r /(r!))=1+u+(u^2 /(2!))+(u^3 /(3!))+(u^4 /(4!))+...  (which is valid for u∈C, and nicely  approximates e^u  for u∈R near zero),  we obtain  m=lim_(u→0) ((1−(1−u+(u^2 /(2!))−(u^3 /(3!))+(u^4 /(4!))−...))/u)  m=lim_(u→0) ((u−(u^2 /(2!))+(u^3 /(3!))−(u^4 /(4!))+...)/u)  m=lim_(u→0) {1−(u/(2!))+(u^2 /(3!))−(u^3 /(4!))+...}  m=1−0+0−0+0−...  m=1  ∴ l=e×1=e.
