lim t-> 0 ,t^3/tan^3(2t) , not seeing nay identiites to solve with, escpeted to solve not using l hospitols

Well, you might try to rewrite this as:
[tex]\lim_{t\to{0}}\frac{t^{3}}{\tan^{3}(2t)}=\lim_{t\to{0}}(\frac{t}{\sin(2t)})^{3}\cos^{3}(2t))=\lim_{t\to{0}}(\frac{1}{2})^{3}(\frac{2t}{\sin(2t)})^{3}\cos^{3}(2t))[/tex]
 
still not seeing it
 
Really? What are the limits of those terms individually?
 
term containing sin(2t) 0/0 foo
 
You've never learned [tex]\lim_{x\to 0} \frac{\sin x}{x} = 1[/tex] ?
 
right, thanks
