use expansion as tanx =x+{x^3}/3+{x^5}(2/15)+..... . and sinx=x-x^3/3!+x^5/5!+... note here in question we have *2x instead of x * so replace it to get ans. it will be 4

lim x 0 tan 2 x sin 2 x x 3 \lim_{x\rightarrow0}\dfrac{\tan2x-\sin2x}{x^3}

Both numerator and denominator go to zero, so L'Hospital's rule may be applied - three times, actually.

lim x 0 tan 2 x sin 2 x x 3 = lim x 0 2 sec 2 2 x 2 cos 2 x 3 x 2 = lim x 0 8 sec 2 2 x tan 2 x + 4 sin 2 x 6 x = \lim_{x\rightarrow0}\dfrac{\tan2x-\sin2x}{x^3}=\lim_{x\rightarrow0}\dfrac{2\sec^22x-2\cos2x}{3x^2}=\lim_{x\rightarrow0}\dfrac{8\sec^22x\tan2x+4\sin2x}{6x}= lim x 0 32 sec 2 x tan 2 2 x + 16 sec 4 2 x + 8 cos 2 x 6 = 0 + 16 + 8 6 = 4 \lim_{x\rightarrow0}\dfrac{32\sec2x\tan^22x+16\sec^42x+8\cos2x}{6}=\dfrac{0+16+8}6=\boxed4

Please use the first line of solution in your problem statement, for clarity. Thank you.
