#lim_(x->0)(1-cosx)/sin^2(3x) =1/18#

FIrst you can note that:

#(1-cosx)/sin^2(3x)= (1-cosx)/(3x)^2*((3x)/sin(3x))^2#

so that:

#lim_(x->0)(1-cosx)/sin^2(3x)=1/9*lim_(x->0)(1-cosx)/x^2*lim_(x->0)((3x)/sin(3x))^2#

But we know that:

#lim_(x->0)((3x)/sin(3x))^2 =1#

#lim_(x->0)(1-cosx)/x^2=1/2#

Finally:

#lim_(x->0)(1-cosx)/sin^2(3x) =1/18#
