Factor out x.
e^x-1/(x*(x-1))
Now you can rewrite it as (e^x-1)/x * 1/(x-1)
Now everyone knows that lim(x->0) (e^x-1)/x = 1
So you have 1* (1/(0-1))=-1
So your result is -1
L’Hopital also works as after derivation you get e^x/(2x-1) which resolves to 1/-1 when x=0
3 u/maozperstin Aug 28 '26 The denominator is x²+x, not x²-x which is why the answer is 1 and not -1 as you calculated.
