For x= 0 it is 0/0 form
So, we can apply L' Hopital's rule.
5sin(5x)/(-6sin(6x))
=(-5/6)*(sin(5x)/5x)*(6x/sin(6x))*(5x/6x)
On taking limits now
= (-5/6)*(5/6)
=-25/36
We are using the standard result here----
limit. sin(x)/x. as x tends to 0
=1
So, limit sin(5x)/5x. as x tends to 0
=1
And,
Limit sin(6x)/6x. as x tends to 0
=1

If you want to learn limits fully well,
You have to learn L'Hopital's rule.
