limit as x approaches 0 of-(ln(1-x))/x

x \to 0 lim (- \frac{ln ( 1 - x )}{x})

1

Solution steps

x \to 0 lim (- \frac{ln ( 1 - x )}{x})

x \to a lim [c \cdot f (x)] = c \cdot x \to a lim f (x)

= - x \to 0 lim (\frac{ln ( 1 - x )}{x})

\frac{ln ( 1 - x )}{x} = ln (1 - x) \frac{1}{x}

= - x \to 0 lim (ln (1 - x) \frac{1}{x})

Simplify

ln (1 - x) \frac{1}{x} : \frac{ln ( 1 - x )}{x}

= - x \to 0 lim (\frac{ln ( 1 - x )}{x})

Apply L'Hopital's Rule

= - x \to 0 lim (\frac{- \frac{1}{1 - x}}{1})

Plug in the value

x = 0

= - \frac{- \frac{1}{1 - 0}}{1}

Simplify

- \frac{- \frac{1}{1 - 0}}{1} : 1

= 1
