    \[\underset{x\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{\tan x-\sin x}{{{x}^{3}}}\] is equal to :

    A)  \[\frac{1}{2}\]                                  

    B)  \[-\frac{1}{2}\]

    C)  0                                            

    D)  1

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[\underset{x\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,=\frac{\tan x-\sin x}{{{x}^{3}}}\]                   \[\left( \frac{0}{0}form \right)\]                                                 (using L Hospitals rule)                 \[\underset{x\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,=\frac{{{\sec }^{2}}x-\cos x}{3{{x}^{2}}}\]                \[\left( \frac{0}{0}form \right)\]                                                 (using L Hospitals rule)                 \[\underset{x\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,=\frac{2{{\sec }^{2}}x\tan x+\sin x}{6x}\] \[\left( \frac{0}{0}form \right)\]                 \[\underset{x\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,=\frac{\begin{align}   & 2({{\sec }^{2}}x\,.\,\,{{\sec }^{2}}x2\sec x. \\  & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\sec x\tan x\,.\,\,\tan x)+\cos x \\ \end{align}}{6}\]                                                 (Using L Hospitals rule)                 \[=\frac{2\,\,(1.1+2\,\,(0))+1}{6}\]                 \[=\frac{3}{6}=\frac{1}{2}\]
