Math Help - Limit as x approaches 0

1. Limit as x approaches 0

possibly L'Hopital & FTC

2. Exactly.

If you apply L'Hospital's Rule and FTC, you will get:

$\frac{1}{3} \, \lim_{x\to 0} \dfrac{ \dfrac{sin(x)}{x} - 1 }{x^2}$

so ?

Does Si = Sin?

4. No.
Why did you ask that ?
By the FTC:

$\frac{d}{dx} \left( \int_0^x f(t) \, dt \right) = f(x)$ ..

Do we have to do L'Hopital again? Since sinx/x =1
and then subtracting 1 gets you 0. so 0/0 ?

or is the limit just 0?

Its still 0/0 not 0 ..

We need to use L'Hospital's Rule two times again to evaluate the limit ..
Or we can use the infinite series to evaluate it ..
Your final answer should be $\frac{-1}{18}$ ..
