f(0,∞)->R
f(x)=2 [x^(sin(2x)] cos(2x)
find lim(x->0)f(x)=?

I have done all my hits all failed!
can you please tell me how to solve it?

Well, tell us what you have tried so we will know what hints will help.

i have reached to this answer! is it correct..

let y = [x^(sin(2x)] cos(2x)
ln(y)= sin(2x)*ln(x)+ln(cos(2x))
lim(x->0) sin(2x)*ln(x)+ln(cos(2x))
lim(x->0) sin(2x)*ln(x) //(as ln(cos(0))=ln(1)=0
lim(x->0)2sin(x)ln(x)
lim(x->0)2 ln(x)/cosec(x)
L Hopital
lim(x->0)-2/(xcosec(x)cot(x))
lim(x->0)-2sin2(x)/xcos(x)
lim(x->0)-2sin2(x)/x
once again L hopital
lim(x->0)-4sin(x)cos(x)+2sin3(x)
=0....(area all steps correct)
ln(y)=0
y=1
;lim(x->0)f(x)=2y=2
is it correct. I doesn't have marking scheme or any thing like this so i can't tell what's correct answer..

The correct answer is 2.

you mean my answer is correct??
OR
you have already done this question and saying me that answer is 2??

The answer is correct.

The step that goes from
lim(x->0) sin(2x)*ln(x)​
to
lim(x->0)2sin(x)ln(x)​
is not correct, if you mean that sin(2x)ln(x) = 2sin(x)ln(x) .

are nahi yar!
no i have just skipped a step..
lim(x->0)sin(2x)ln(x) =lim(x->0)2sin(x)cos(x)ln(x)
cos(0)=1
so
lim(x->0)sin(2x)ln(x) =lim(x->0)2sin(x)cos(x)ln(x)=lim(x->0)2sin(x)ln(x)

so what do you think about it..

so what do you think about it..

Ok so far. I'd double check if you still think the limit is 2.

I'm pretty sure that [itex]\displaystyle \lim_{x\to0^+}2\,x^{\sin(2x)} \cos(2x)=2\,.[/itex]

Yeah, you're right. I've been missing the initial '2' somehow. Sorry.
