<s>[INST] Limit of $\lim_{x \rightarrow 0}\frac{9}{x}\bigl(\frac{3}{(x+3)^3}-\frac{1}{9}\bigr)$ I have to determine the following:
$$\lim_{x \rightarrow 0}\frac{9}{x}\left(\frac{3}{(x+3)^3}-\frac{1}{9}\right)$$
I've got so far:
$$\lim_{x \rightarrow 0}\frac{9}{x}\left(\frac{3}{(x+3)^3}-\frac{1}{9}\right)= \lim_{x \rightarrow 0}\left(\frac{27}{x(x+3)^3}-\frac{1}{x}\right)=\lim_{x \rightarrow 0} \left(\frac{27-(x+3)^3}{x(x+3)^3}\right)=\cdots$$
How to go on? I've got $\frac{\infty}{0}...$
 [/INST] Let $L$ = the limit in question, then use definition of derivative for $f(x) = \frac{3}{(x + 3)^3}$, then $L = 9f'(0) = 9\left(\frac{-9}{(0 + 3)^4}\right) = -1$.
