![lim_(x→0) (((sinx−0)/(x−0))) = lim_(x→0) ((sin x)/x) = 1 sin x is also continuous and so it is differentiable at x = 0. what do you mean by your question?](https://www.tinkutara.com/question/Q134524.png)
$$\underset{{x}\rightarrow\mathrm{0}} {\mathrm{lim}}\left(\frac{\mathrm{sin}{x}−\mathrm{0}}{{x}−\mathrm{0}}\right)\:=\:\underset{{x}\rightarrow\mathrm{0}} {\mathrm{lim}}\:\frac{\mathrm{sin}\:{x}}{{x}}\:=\:\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$\mathrm{sin}\:{x}\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{also}\:\mathrm{continuous}\:\mathrm{and}\:\mathrm{so}\:\mathrm{it}\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{differentiable}\:\mathrm{at}\: \\ $$$$\:{x}\:=\:\mathrm{0}.\:\mathrm{what}\:\mathrm{do}\:\mathrm{you}\:\mathrm{mean}\:\mathrm{by}\:\mathrm{your}\:\mathrm{question}? \\ $$

![can you show us how your graph for sin x looks like? btw: please don′t write all things in only one single line! thanks!](https://www.tinkutara.com/question/Q134529.png)
