Limit of $f(x)$ given that $ f(x)/x$ is known

The product rule trick still works. If $\lim_{x \to 0} f(x)/x = R \in \mathbb R$, and obviously $\lim_{x \to 0} x = 0$, it follows that $$ \lim_{x \to 0} f(x) = \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{f(x)}{x} \times x = R \times 0 = 0. $$


We have that eventually

$$0\le \left|\frac{f(x)}{x}\right|\le M$$

therefore

$$0\le \left|f(x)\right|\le M|x| \to 0$$


Let $\lim_{x\to0}\dfrac{f(x)}{x}=l$ then $\bigg|\dfrac{f(x)}{x}-l\bigg|\leq M$ for some $M\in \mathbb{R}$. So $\bigg|\dfrac{f(x)}{x}\bigg|\leq |l|+M\Rightarrow |f(x)|\leq |x|(|l|+M) \Rightarrow \lim_{x\to 0} f(x)=0 $
