How can i claim a one-sided limit doesnt exist?












1












$begingroup$


I have to find the limit $$lim_{xto 0^+} frac{ln(1+2x)sin x}{sqrt {x^3}} $$



Now, I tried using L'Hôpital's rule and it doesn't lead anywhere.



Manually trying to convert the functions to another form doesn't seem to go anywhere either, so I determined that the limit must be undefined.



However, I cannot prove it. What can I do?

    Using Taylor, the numerator is $2xcdot x+o(x^3)$ and the limit is $0$.

    Hint:



    Use the facts that (1) $lim_{xto 0} frac{ln(1+2x)}{2x} = 1$, (2) $lim_{xto 0} frac{sin x}{x} = 1$, and (3) $lim_{xto 0^+} frac{x^2}{sqrt{x^3}} = 0$ to show the limit is $2cdot 1cdot 0 = 0$.



    To do so, rewrite, for $x>0$,
    $$
    frac{ln(1+2x)sin x}{sqrt{x^3}}=2cdot frac{ln(1+2x)}{2x}cdotfrac{sin x}{x}cdotfrac{x^2}{sqrt{x^3}}

    It is known that

    Then



    $$lim_{xto 0^+} frac{ln(1+2x)sin x}{sqrt {x^3}}=1cdot2cdotlim_{xto 0^+} sqrt x.$$
