\(\boxed{\infty}\)

Steps

Step 1 :First, we find the derivatives of the functions in the numerator and denominator:

Step 2 :\(\frac{d}{dx}\left(\log (1+x)\right) = \frac{1}{x+1}\)

Step 3 :\(\frac{d}{dx}\left(x^{2}\right) = 2x\)

Step 4 :\(\frac{d}{dx}\left(1\right) = 0\)

Step 5 :\(\frac{d}{dx}\left(x(x+1)\right) = 2x+1\)

Step 6 :Now, we apply L'Hopital's rule and plug in the derivatives:

Step 7 :\(\lim _{x \rightarrow 0}\left(\frac{\frac{1}{x+1}}{2x} - \frac{0}{2x+1}\right)\)

Step 8 :Simplify the expression:

Step 9 :\(\lim _{x \rightarrow 0}\left(\frac{1}{2x(x+1)}\right)\)

Step 10 :Finally, find the limit as x approaches 0:

Step 11 :\(\boxed{\infty}\)
