#lim_(x->0^+) sinx lnx =0#

Explanation:

This limit is in the indeterminate form #0*oo#. To apply L'Hospital's rule we have to transform it in a way that it is in the form #0/0# or #oo/oo#:

#lim_(x->0^+) sinx lnx = lim_(x->0^+) lnx/(1/sinx)#

we can now apply the rule and have:

#lim_(x->0^+) lnx/(1/sinx) = lim_(x->0^+) (d/dx lnx)/(d/dx 1/sinx) = lim_(x->0^+) (1/x)/(-cosx/sin^2x) = lim_(x->0^+) -sinx /x tanx = -1*0 = 0#
