Factor the denominator and cancel the x. Then take the limit.

OpenStudy (lukecrayonz):

Isn't it just input 0 into the equation?

OpenStudy (lukecrayonz):

And i'm getting 0/0, which is zero, but you can't divide by zero, so it's does not exist?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

\[\frac{x}{x(x-1)}=\frac{1}{x-1}\]

OpenStudy (mertsj):

If you insist on doing it your way, why did you post the question?

OpenStudy (lukecrayonz):

I'm asking if it's correct :( @Mertsj

OpenStudy (mertsj):

What is correct is to cancel the common factor x and get 1/x-1. Now replace x with 0. What do you get?

OpenStudy (lukecrayonz):

1/-1, -1.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

And that is the limit as x approaches 0

OpenStudy (lukecrayonz):

Thank you! :)
