Evaluate the limit with either L'HĂ´pital's rule or previously learned methods. lim_{x ? 0} rac{sin(x) - tan(x)}{x^3}

Step 1
As x approaches 0, both the numerator and the denominator approach 0. This is a 0/0 indeterminate form, so we can apply L'Hopital's rule, which states that the limit of a quotient of two functions as x approaches a certain value is equal to the limit of the Show more…

Solve the limit. DO NOT USE L'hopital's rule. You must use special limits. Hint: lim x→0 sin(x)/x = 1 lim x→0 sin(3x) / (tan(x) + x)
