Homework Statement
limx->0+ [tan(\sqrt{x})-sin(\sqrt{x})] / x\sqrt{2x}
Homework Equations
tanx= sinx/cosx
The Attempt at a Solution
I set u= \sqrt{x}
Therefore as a->0, u->0
And I get the limit
=lim x->0+ (tan(\sqrt{x})-sin(\sqrt{x}))/ (x*\sqrt{2}* \sqrt{x})
= 1/\sqrt{2}lim u->0 (tan(u)-sin(u))/u3
= 1/\sqrt{2}lim u->0 (sin(u)-sin(u)cos(u))/ (cos(u)*u3)
= 1/\sqrt{2}lim u->0 sin(u)(1-cos(u))/(cos(u)*u3)
And it is here where I'm stuck. I'm not sure what to do next =\
We haven't learned L'hopital's rule yet, so if it's needed, it really shouldn't be applied.
I'm open to any suggestions and I thank you for your time,
Ballox
