To find the limit of sin(theta)/sec(theta) as theta approaches 0, we can simplify the expression using trigonometric identities.
Recall that sec(theta) is equal to 1/cos(theta).
Substituting this into the expression, we have sin(theta)/(1/cos(theta)).
To simplify further, we can multiply the numerator and denominator by cos(theta), which gives us sin(theta) * cos(theta)/1.
Using the double-angle identity for sine, sin(2theta) = 2sin(theta)cos(theta), we can rewrite the expression as 2sin(theta)cos(theta)/1.
Now, as theta approaches 0, sin(theta) and cos(theta) both approach 0.
Therefore, the limit of sin(theta)/sec(theta) as theta approaches 0 is equal to 2(0)(0)/1, which simplifies to 0.
Hence, the limit is 0.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
