lim_(x->0^(+)) (e^x- (1+x)) / x^3 Evaluate the limit, using L’Hôpital’s Rule if necessary.

Given to solve ,
lim_(x->0^(+)) (e^x - (1+x)) / x^3
as x->0+ then the (e^x- (1+x)) / x^3=0/0 form
so upon applying the L 'Hopital rule we get the solution as follows,
as for the general equation it is as follows
lim_(x->a) f(x)/g(x) is = 0/0 or (+-oo)/(+-oo) then by using the L'Hopital Rule we get  the solution with the  below form.
lim_(x->a) (f'(x))/(g'(x))
 
so, now evaluating
lim_(x->0^(+)) (e^x - (1+x)) / x^3
=lim_(x->0^(+)) (e^x - (1+x))' / (x^3)'
= lim_(x->0^(+)) ((e^x - 1)) / ((3x^2))
When x->0+   we get (e^x - 1) /(3x^2) = 0/0 form, so applying the l'Hopital's Rule again we get
= lim_(x->0^(+)) ((e^x - 1)') / ((3x^2)')
= lim_(x->0^(+)) (e^x) / ((6x))
so now plugging the vale of x= 0 we get
= lim_(x->0^(+)) (e^x) / ((6x))
= (e^0) / ((6(0)))
= 1/0
= oo

How does Bilbo show leadership and courage in The Hobbit?

In “Goodbye to All That,” Joan Didion writes that the “lesson” of her story is that “it is distinctly possible to remain too long at the fair.” What does she mean? How does the final section of the essay portray how she came to this understanding, her feelings about it, and the consequences of it?

Why does the poet say "all the men and women merely players"?
