lim_(x→0) (((x−tgx)/(x−sinx)))=?  l′hopital role not allowed!

$$\underset{{x}\rightarrow\mathrm{0}} {\mathrm{lim}}\left(\frac{\boldsymbol{{x}}−\boldsymbol{{tgx}}}{\boldsymbol{{x}}−\boldsymbol{{sinx}}}\right)=? \\ $$$$\boldsymbol{{l}}'\boldsymbol{{hopital}}\:\boldsymbol{{role}}\:\boldsymbol{{not}}\:\boldsymbol{{allowed}}! \\ $$

we know that(when x→0)  sinx≈x−x^3 /6  and  tanx≈x+x^3 /3  so    ((x−tanx)/(x−sinx))≈((x^3 /6)/(−x^3 /3))=−(1/2)

$$\mathrm{we}\:\mathrm{know}\:\mathrm{that}\left(\mathrm{when}\:\mathrm{x}\rightarrow\mathrm{0}\right) \\ $$$$\mathrm{sinx}\approx\mathrm{x}−\mathrm{x}^{\mathrm{3}} /\mathrm{6} \\ $$$$\mathrm{and} \\ $$$$\mathrm{tanx}\approx\mathrm{x}+\mathrm{x}^{\mathrm{3}} /\mathrm{3} \\ $$$$\mathrm{so} \\ $$$$ \\ $$$$\frac{\mathrm{x}−\mathrm{tanx}}{\mathrm{x}−\mathrm{sinx}}\approx\frac{\mathrm{x}^{\mathrm{3}} /\mathrm{6}}{−\mathrm{x}^{\mathrm{3}} /\mathrm{3}}=−\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$
