Question
Evaluate the following limit:
$\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}\frac{\tan2\text{x}-\sin2\text{x}}{\text{x}^3}$

Answer

$\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}\frac{\tan2\text{x}-\sin2\text{x}}{\text{x}^3}$
$=\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}\frac{\frac{\sin2\text{x}}{\cos2\text{x}}-\sin2\text{x}}{\text{x}^3}$
$=\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}\frac{\sin2\text{x}\big(\frac{1}{\cos2\text{x}}-1\big)}{\text{x}^3}$
$=\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}\frac{\sin2\text{x}(1-\cos2\text{x})}{\text{x}^2\cos2\text{x}}$
$=\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}\frac{\sin2\text{x}\big(2\sin^2\text{x}\big)}{\text{x}^3\cos2\text{x}}$
$=\frac{\big(\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}\frac{\sin2\text{x}}{\text{x}}\big)\Big(\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}\frac{2\sin^2\text{x}}{\text{x}^2}\Big)}{\big(\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}\cos2\text{x}\big)}$
$=\frac{\big(\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}\frac{\sin2\text{x}}{\text{x}}\times2\big)\Big(\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}2\big(\frac{\sin\text{x}}{\text{x}}\big)^2\Big)}{\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}\cos2\text{x}}$
$=\frac{(2\times1)(2\times1)}{1}$
$=4$
