Homework Statement


Limit of (arcsen(2x)-2arcsen(x))/x^3 as x->0


Homework Equations


arsen(x)'=1/Sqrt(1-x^2)


The Attempt at a Solution


It's an 0/0 indeterminancy, to solve it, I had to use L'hopital's rule once simplify de expression, multiplying by the conjugate root. Is there an easier way?

As you don't get rid of the trigonometric functions without l'Hospital, I think this ok.

$$\frac{\frac{2}{\sqrt{1-(2x)^2}}-\frac{2}{\sqrt{1-(x)^2}}}{x^2} = 2 \frac{1}{\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-(2x)^2}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-(x)^2}}} \frac{\frac{1}{1-(2x)^2}-\frac{1}{1-(x)^2}}{x^2} \to \frac{2}{2} \frac{\frac{1}{1-(2x)^2}-\frac{1}{1-(x)^2}}{x^2} \to \dots$$
