Did you try l'Hopital's rule?

This is a problem for calculus 1, I'm not familiarized with l'Hospital's rule :\

Do you have any inequalities concerning arctan you can use? Something like 0<=arctan(u)<=u for u=>0?

All I've been given was the limit above. I'm supposed to know what's his limit when x tends to zero

You have know something about the arctan function to solve it. Can you solve it with the inequality I gave you in the last post? BTW I was sloppy and wrote it incorrectly. I fixed it.
