Answer

Step 3: Substitute x=0 into ex1 to get the limit.

Steps

Step 1 :Step 1: Notice that the limit is in the indeterminate form 00 as x approaches 0, so we can use L'Hospital's Rule, which states that limxaf(x)g(x)=limxaf(x)g(x) if the limit exists.

Step 2 :Step 2: Differentiate the numerator and the denominator separately. The derivative of ex is ex, and the derivative of x is 1, so the limit becomes limx0ex1.

Step 3 :Step 3: Substitute x=0 into ex1 to get the limit.
