Why This Question Is Tricky

Common Mistakes

This question tests the student's vigilance when evaluating limits involving integrals and modulus functions.

A common trap is to blindly apply L'Hôpital's Rule or Taylor expansions while ignoring the piecewise nature of the modulus in the denominator (assuming $x^2|x| = x^3$ globally).

This incorrect assumption leads to a 'clean' integer limit of 2.

However, evaluating the Left Hand Limit reveals that the denominator changes sign, resulting in LHL = -2 and RHL = 2, proving the limit does not exist.
