High School Math hmmm?

Consider the following limit:

limx->+∞ x5[sin(1/x) - 1/x + 1/6x3]

  1. Evaluate the limit
  2. Evaluate the limit using L'Hospital's Rule

-edit-

changed it a little to make it fair (should make #1 super easy ), no cheating!

 

 

I've long since purged calculus from my mind. But I'm pretty sure it goes back and forth from neagtive infinity to positive infinity.



Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
