I assume you meant

[tex]\lim_{x \rightarrow {\infty}} \left(\frac{1 \, + \, tan\left(\frac{\pi}{2x}\right)}{1 \, + \, sin \left(\frac{\pi}{3x}\right)} \right)^{x}[/tex]

then I would suggest letting that = y, then take ln of both sides and you should get something like:

[tex]ln(y) \, = \, \lim_{x \rightarrow {\infty}} \frac{ln\left(\frac{1 \, + \, tan\left(\frac{\pi}{2x}\right)}{1 \, + \, sin \left(\frac{\pi}{3x}\right)} \right)}{\frac{1}{x}}[/tex]

which if you "plug in" the limit should give you [tex]\frac{0}{0}[/tex] making it a candidate for L'hopital. Try that.
