Suppose f and g are differentiable functions such that
- g′(x)=0 on an open interval I containing 0;
- limx→0f(x)=0 and limx→0g(x)=0;
- limx→0g′(x)f′(x)=0.
L'Hôpital's Rule concludes that we can find limx→0g(x)f(x)=limx→0g′(x)f′(x)=0.
What can we conclude about how to find limx→0g(g(x)f(x))f(g(x)f(x)) ?
Example question: put f(x)=sin(x)−x and g(x)=x, find limx→0(xsin(x)−x)sin(xsin(x)−x)−(xsin(x)−x)=limx→0(xsin(x)−1)sin(xsin(x)−1)−(xsin(x)−1) ?

@Yajat Shamji Do you want the solution of that last limit problem?

Yes! I think the Calculus Geeks can handle this!
If you don't know where Calculus Geeks came from, ask Aruna Yumlembam...
