How to evaluate limit without LHospitals rule, but using limx0sinxx=1
I am having hard time evaluating this limit:
limx0cos3x1cos2x1
I know, that this fact can help
limx0sinxx=1
But how? We can transform the first expression to
limx0cos3x12sin2x
but what should I do next? I cannot use LHopitals rule for solving this.

Hint:
It is standard (from the limit of sinxx) that
limx01cosxx2=12,so 1cosx0x22,
and you may proceed by substitution.
