Wondering if limits for trig functions (small angles) is in the new syllabus ? (1 Viewer)

Eg. lim as x approaches 0 for sinx over x

I haven't seen any 2020 exam from a school that had a question on it.

It is included in the Cambridge MX1 textbook but not some others.

Having said that, I haven't seen a 2020 Advanced paper that had a limits question but NESA had one in the Specimen Paper.

Some will answer you as definitively no. I don't know of many who would say definitively yes. I would say I don't know for sure.

You should have encountered it when establishing the derivatives of sin x and cos x. I don’t think you are expected to recall it outright but perhaps you could be asked to prove it in a guided derivation.
