(without using l'hopital's rule) how to do you prove that:

lim x->0 (sinx)/x=1? 

lim x->0 (tan3x)/x =3?

lim x->0 (1-cosx)x?

For the second one, we have

tan(3x)/x  = (sin3x)/x * 1/cos3x = (3sin3x/3x) * 1/(cos 3x) 

Let 3x = Θ

And  using the fact that sinΘ/Θ = 1, and cosΘ = 1   as Θ→ 0..... we have

(3sinΘ/Θ) * 1/cosΘ = (3)(sinΘ/Θ) * 1/cosΘ =

[3(1)] / [1/1]  = 3/1  = 3

 limx0(sin(x)x)sin(x)=n=0(1)nx2n+1(2n+1)!=x1!x33!+x55! $$ limx0(sin(x)x)=limx0(x1!x33!+x55!x)=limx0(x(11!x23!+x45!)x) $$ =limx0(11!x23!+x45!)=11!=1
