Note that we are taking the limit as x approaches 0 from the right.......

 

Using the Puiseux  series expansion for the first six terms of sin (sqrt(x)), we have :

 

lim x →  0   [sqrt(x)-x^(3/2)/6+x^(5/2)/120-x^(7/2)/5040+x^(9/2)/362880-x^(11/2)/39916800] / x

 

Dividing each term by x   and taking the limit as x → 0  on the last five terms will result in 0

 

Dividing the first term by x , we have

 

lim x →  0      1 / sqrt(x)

 

As x → 0,    the denominator gets extremely "small" in comparison to the numerator .... so the function  →  +infinity  as x  → 0 ....i.e., .......the limit does not exist

 

Here's the graph that confirms this  .....   https://www.desmos.com/calculator/tzfgdcaps7
