1. **Problem statement:** We want to find the one-sided limits of the function
$$g(x) = \frac{1}{\tan^2(x)}$$
as $x$ approaches 0 from the right ($0^+$) and from the left ($0^-$).
2. **Recall the behavior of $\tan(x)$ near 0:**
Since $\tan(x) = \frac{\sin(x)}{\cos(x)}$, and both $\sin(x)$ and $\cos(x)$ are continuous near 0, we know:
$$\lim_{x \to 0} \tan(x) = 0$$
3. **Analyze the sign of $\tan(x)$ near 0:**
- For $x \to 0^+$, $\tan(x)$ is positive and close to 0.
- For $x \to 0^-$, $\tan(x)$ is negative and close to 0.
4. **Evaluate $g(x) = \frac{1}{\tan^2(x)}$ near 0:**
Since $\tan^2(x)$ is the square of $\tan(x)$, it is always non-negative.
- As $x \to 0^+$, $\tan^2(x) \to 0^+$, so
$$g(x) = \frac{1}{\tan^2(x)} \to +\infty$$
- As $x \to 0^-$, $\tan^2(x) \to 0^+$ as well (because square of negative is positive), so
$$g(x) = \frac{1}{\tan^2(x)} \to +\infty$$
5. **Conclusion:** Both one-sided limits tend to $+\infty$.
**Final answer:**
$$\lim_{x \to 0^+} g(x) = +\infty \quad \text{and} \quad \lim_{x \to 0^-} g(x) = +\infty$$
This corresponds to option A.
