We need to find the value of lim x-->0 [ tan 4x / tan 2x]
If we substitute x = 0, we get the indeterminate form 0/0. This allows us to use l'Hopital's rule and substitute the numerator and the denominator with their derivatives.
=> lim x-->0 [ 4*(sec 4x)^2 / 2* (sec 2x)^2]
substitute x = 0
=> 4*1 / 2*1
=> 4/2
=> 2
The required value of lim x-->0 [ tan 4x / tan 2x] = 2.
