$\lim_{x \to0} (\sin(2x)-2x)/x^3$

By Emily Wilson

Evaluate $$ \lim_{x\to0} \frac{\sin(2x)-2x}{x^3} $$

I thought that I could use L'Hopital's rule to get to an answer of $-1$ but according to the answer manual that isn't correct. What am I doing wrong?

This is the solution, you keep using L Hospital's Rule until you get the denominator as a number or an integer instead of x, since x-> 0 means the denominator will be 0 which wont solve our problem.

Kindly message me if you have problems or concerns in understanding this.
