#someone can help me solving this limit ? (without L'Hospital rule)

Expand all three using power series.
not allowed
we can only use this rules sinx/x and tanx/x
I see.
Divide the top and bottom by x
And then multiply the top and bottom by 1+cos(x)
Why not lopital rule?
And then use 1 - cos^2(x) = sin^2(x)
it's not allowed in my grade i asked the teacher about that so
Ok give me a sec doing things in paper
thank u
@tulip totemi'll try doing what u said
@warm flame has given 1 rep to @dapper pollen
you get:
(1+cos(x))(tan(5x) + 2(sinx/x))
————
(sinx)(sinx/x)
Wth
why not x^2 ?
so like : (1 - cosx)/x^2 = 1/2
Yes.
it's good ?
No, because for some reason, the method I suggested fails.
i figured out how to do it
Wait. No. The limit is divergent.
yeees tell me
Well, kinda easy
okay
No need.
First, use the double-angle formula for cosine and divide everything by x:
(x tan(5x) + 2sin(x))/(1 - cos(x)) = (tan(5x) + 2sin(x)/x)/(2sin(x/2)^2/x)
Now it's easy to verify that the limit doesn't exist.
okay wait
no ideas ?
