The value of \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} f(x) is

$$ \begin{aligned} & \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} f(x) \\ & =\lim _{x \rightarrow 0}(\sin x-\tan x) \\ & =\sin 0-\tan 0 \\ & =0-0 \\ & =0 \end{aligned}

Note the following exponential limit.

\cdot \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{e^{x}-1}{x}=1

\cdot \: \: \frac{\log _{e}(1+x)}{x}=1 \\ \cdot \: \: \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{a^{x}-1}{x}=\log _{e} a=\ln a

Now, evaluate the following limit using the above formula.

\begin{aligned} & \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{(\sqrt{e})^{f(x)}-1}{f(x)} \\ & =\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{e^{\frac{f(x)}{2}}-1}{f(x)} \\ & =\frac{1}{2} \times \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{e^{\frac{f(x)}{2}}-1}{\frac{f(x)}{2}} \\ & =\frac{1}{2} \times 1 \quad\left[ \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} f(x)=0\right] \\ & =\frac{1}{2} \end{aligned}
