The evaluation of limits without the usage of L'Hôpital's rule.

The idea here is to evaluate the limit using standard limit theorems (algebra of limits, Sandwich/Squeeze Theorem, essentially without using any differentiation) and some standard limit formulas related to algebraic, trigonometric, exponential and logarithmic functions. Very often, Taylor series techniques prove fruitful in such problems as they allow for easy cancellation of powers and most terms evaluate to zero, leaving a simple expression for the limit.

find the limit : $\lim_{x\to 0} \left( \frac{x}{x-\sin x}-\frac{6}{x^2}\right)$

Find the limit algebraically : $$\lim_{x\to 0} \left( \frac{x}{x-\sin x}-\frac{6}{x^2}\right)$$ My Try : $$\lim_{x\to 0} \frac{x^2}{x^2}\left( \frac{x}{x-\sin x}-\frac{6}{x^2}\right)$$ $$\lim_{x\to 0} \frac{1}{x^2}\left( \frac{x^3}{x-\sin…

Solve limit without L'Hôpital's rule

I am trying to solve the following limit without using L'Hôpital's rule. I know the answer is -8, but I can't seem to figure out another way to solve it. $$ \lim_{x\to1} \frac{x^2 -1}{2-\sqrt{x+3}} $$ Thanks in advance.

How can I find limits without L'Hopital's Rule?

My question is, how can I evaluate limits without L'Hopital's Rule ? $$\lim\limits_{x \to 0} \frac{\sin(\sqrt[3]{x})}{1-\cos x}$$

calculates (without using L'Hopital) the following limit

I don't understand how to calculate the limit $$\lim_{x\to7}\frac{1}{x-7}\int_7^x\sqrt{t^2+9}dt $$ without using the L'Hopital rule the picture.
