The given function is limited from the top by the function   = 

and is limited from the bottom by the function   = 


     <=  <= .


Both functions    and    have the limit 0 (zero) as x approaches to 0+.


Therefore, the given function    has the limit 0 (zero)  as x approaches to 0+.

Solved, with complete explanations.

The referenced theorem of Calculus has a joking folklore name "two policemen theorem".

It says "if two police officers are bringing an intoxicated prisoner between them to a cell, the prisoner must also end up in the cell".

In our problem, two limiting functions do represent two police officers,
while the given function does represent an intoxicated prisoner.

together with the accompanying figures.

One of these figures is close visual presentation to your function and my limiters.
