Correct answer: 2

  1. For continuity at x=0x=0x=0, we must have f(0)=lim⁡x→0tan⁡(tan⁡x)−sin⁡(sin⁡x)tan⁡x−sin⁡x.f(0)=\lim_{x\to 0}\frac{\tan(\tan x)-\sin(\sin x)}{\tan x-\sin x}.f(0)=limx→0​tanx−sinxtan(tanx)−sin(sinx)​. So we need to evaluate this limit.

  2. Let u=tan⁡x,v=sin⁡x.u=\tan x, \qquad v=\sin x.u=tanx,v=sinx. As x→0x\to 0x→0, we have u→0u\to 0u→0 and v→0v\to 0v→0. Then tan⁡(tan⁡x)−sin⁡(sin⁡x)tan⁡x−sin⁡x=tan⁡u−sin⁡vu−v.\frac{\tan(\tan x)-\sin(\sin x)}{\tan x-\sin x}=\frac{\tan u-\sin v}{u-v}.tanx−sinxtan(tanx)−sin(sinx)​=u−vtanu−sinv​. This is not directly a standard form, so expand near 000.

  3. Use series expansions: tan⁡t=t+t33+O(t5),sin⁡t=t−t36+O(t5).\tan t=t+\frac{t^3}{3}+O(t^5), \qquad \sin t=t-\frac{t^3}{6}+O(t^5).tant=t+3t3​+O(t5),sint=t−6t3​+O(t5). Hence tan⁡(tan⁡x)=tan⁡x+(tan⁡x)33+O(x5),\tan(\tan x)=\tan x+\frac{(\tan x)^3}{3}+O(x^5),tan(tanx)=tanx+3(tanx)3​+O(x5), sin⁡(sin⁡x)=sin⁡x−(sin⁡x)36+O(x5).\sin(\sin x)=\sin x-\frac{(\sin x)^3}{6}+O(x^5).sin(sinx)=sinx−6(sinx)3​+O(x5). Therefore the numerator is tan⁡(tan⁡x)−sin⁡(sin⁡x)=(tan⁡x−sin⁡x)+(tan⁡x)33+(sin⁡x)36+O(x5).\tan(\tan x)-\sin(\sin x)=(\tan x-\sin x)+\frac{(\tan x)^3}{3}+\frac{(\sin x)^3}{6}+O(x^5).tan(tanx)−sin(sinx)=(tanx−sinx)+3(tanx)3​+6(sinx)3​+O(x5). So f(x)=1+(tan⁡x)33+(sin⁡x)36+O(x5)tan⁡x−sin⁡x.f(x)=1+\frac{\frac{(\tan x)^3}{3}+\frac{(\sin x)^3}{6}+O(x^5)}{\tan x-\sin x}.f(x)=1+tanx−sinx3(tanx)3​+6(sinx)3​+O(x5)​.

  4. Now expand tan⁡x−sin⁡x\tan x-\sin xtanx−sinx: tan⁡x=x+x33+O(x5),\tan x=x+\frac{x^3}{3}+O(x^5),tanx=x+3x3​+O(x5), sin⁡x=x−x36+O(x5).\sin x=x-\frac{x^3}{6}+O(x^5).sinx=x−6x3​+O(x5). Thus tan⁡x−sin⁡x=x33+x36+O(x5)=x32+O(x5).\tan x-\sin x=\frac{x^3}{3}+\frac{x^3}{6}+O(x^5)=\frac{x^3}{2}+O(x^5).tanx−sinx=3x3​+6x3​+O(x5)=2x3​+O(x5). Also, (tan⁡x)3=x3+O(x5),(sin⁡x)3=x3+O(x5).(\tan x)^3=x^3+O(x^5), \qquad (\sin x)^3=x^3+O(x^5).(tanx)3=x3+O(x5),(sinx)3=x3+O(x5). Hence (tan⁡x)33+(sin⁡x)36=x33+x36+O(x5)=x32+O(x5).\frac{(\tan x)^3}{3}+\frac{(\sin x)^3}{6}=\frac{x^3}{3}+\frac{x^3}{6}+O(x^5)=\frac{x^3}{2}+O(x^5).3(tanx)3​+6(sinx)3​=3x3​+6x3​+O(x5)=2x3​+O(x5).

  5. Substitute into the expression for f(x)f(x)f(x): f(x)=1+x32+O(x5)x32+O(x5).f(x)=1+\frac{\frac{x^3}{2}+O(x^5)}{\frac{x^3}{2}+O(x^5)}.f(x)=1+2x3​+O(x5)2x3​+O(x5)​. Therefore, lim⁡x→0f(x)=1+1=2.\lim_{x\to 0} f(x)=1+1=2.limx→0​f(x)=1+1=2.

  6. Since f(x)f(x)f(x) is continuous at x=0x=0x=0, f(0)=2.f(0)=2.f(0)=2.

Thus the required integer is 2\boxed{2}2​.
