SUMMARY
The limit problem presented involves evaluating lim x→0 (sin x²)/sin²x without using L'Hôpital's rule. The solution can be approached by applying the Maclaurin series for sin(x) and cos(x). Specifically, the limit can be rewritten as lim x→0 [(sin x²)/x²][x²/sin²x], which simplifies the evaluation process. This method provides a clear pathway to the solution without relying on calculus techniques that are restricted in the context of the problem.
