calculus - Evaluation of a simple limit with Taylor Series




I would like to evaluate limx0esinxsin2x1x


using Taylor Series expansion in a completely rigorous way.
What would a rigorous version of the following argument look like?



From
esinx10ex10x and sin2x0x2


we can find the limit
limx0esinxsin2x1x=limx0xx22x=1.



In particular I'm not exactly sure how to deal with Landau symbols o and O in nested functions.



Answer



sin(x)=x+o(x), then sin2(x)=x2+2xo(x)+(o(x))2=x2+o(x), since limx02xo(x)+(o(x))2x=limx0(2o(x)+(o(x)x)2x=0



esin(x)=1+sin(x)+o(sin(x))=1+x+o(x)+o(x+o(x))=1+x+o(x), since



limx0o(x)+o(x+o(x))x=limx0o(x)x+limx0o(x+o(x))x+o(x)x+o(x)x=0



Thus esin(x)sin2(x)1=xx2+o(x)
