Find limit of integral where function under integral depends on limit variable

integrationlimitsreal-analysis

My task is formulated as follows: $$\lim_{x \rightarrow 0}\int_{0}^{x} \frac{cos(t^{3})}{t+x} dt$$

Solution of that limit here: Limit under integral problem.

But I'm searching general tips how to find such limits: $$\lim_{x \rightarrow c}\int_{f(x)}^{g(x)} h(x,t) dt$$

Here we can't differentiate our integral or simply apply l'Hopital's rule. And that task seems without having any general techniques to get solution.

You don't have to apply L'Hopital's Rule. By MVT for integrals, there is $c$ between $0$ and $x$ such that $$ \int_{0}^{x} \frac{\cos(t^{3})}{t+x} dt=\cos(c^3)\int_{0}^{x} \frac{1}{t+x} dt=\cos(c^3)\ln2 $$ and hence $$ \lim_{x\to0}\int_{0}^{x} \frac{\cos(t^{3})}{t+x} dt=\lim_{x\to0}\cos(c^3)\ln2=\ln2. $$
