When using a graphing utility to generate a table, I got 0.01745 as the limit rather than 1. Where did I go wrong?
I calculated $\lim_{x\to 0} {\sin x\over x}$ as 0.01745 instead of 1

2Can you post the table? How small of values did you use for $x$? – 2012-09-10

6Were you possible in the wrong mode? Degrees vs. radians. – 2012-09-10

3When you used degrees instead of radians. Reset your calculator to radians, and it all works out. – 2012-09-10
