How do I as precisely as possible prove that the following limit goes to infinity?
$$\lim_{x\to 0}\frac {\sqrt{x^2+x+1}-1}{\sin(2x)}=\infty $$
It seems difficult. I have started the proof by selecting an $M>0$ and attempting to show that the function is $M$ is always greater than the function. My problem seems to be algebraically manipulating the function so that I can extract $|x|$.
Answer
HINT:
The limit is not $\infty$. Note that
$$\begin{align}
\frac{\sqrt{x^2+x+1}-1}{\sin(2x)}&=\left(\frac{\sqrt{x^2+x+1}-1}{\sin(2x)}\right)\left(\frac{\sqrt{x^2+x+1}+1}{\sqrt{x^2+x+1}+1}\right)\\\\
&=\frac{x(x+1)}{\sin(2x)}\,\frac{1}{\sqrt{x^2+x+1}+1}
\end{align}$$
Now, use $\lim_{\theta \to 0}\frac{\sin(\theta)}{\theta}=1$.
