Step Expression Explanation
1 lim(x → 0) (eᵡ – 1 – x) / x² Start with the original limit
2 0 / 0 Plug in x = 0 to check the form of the limit, which is indeterminate
3 Apply L’Hôpital’s Rule Since the limit is indeterminate, we can apply L’Hôpital’s Rule
4 d/dx (eᵡ – 1 – x) = eᵡ – 0 – 1 Differentiate the numerator to get eᵡ – 1
5 d/dx (x²) = 2x Differentiate the denominator to get 2x
6 lim(x → 0) (eᵡ – 1) / 2x Substitute the derivatives into the limit
7 0 / 0 Plug in x = 0 again to check the form of the new limit, which is still indeterminate
8 Apply L’Hôpital’s Rule again Since the new limit is still indeterminate, apply L’Hôpital’s Rule again
9 d/dx (eᵡ – 1) = eᵡ Differentiate the new numerator to get eᵡ
10 d/dx (2x) = 2 Differentiate the new denominator to get 2
11 lim(x → 0) eᵡ / 2 Substitute the new derivatives into the limit
12 e⁰ / 2 = 1 / 2 Plug in x = 0 to find the limit is 1/2

limit of (e^x-1-x)/x^2 as x goes to 0
