  1. lim(x->0)(sin/(x^2-x))

    =lim(x->0)(sin(x)'/(x^2-x)')

    =lim(x->0)(cox(x)/(2x-1)

    =-1


  2. l'Hopital's rule:

    Take the derivative of numerator and denominator separately:

    sin x -> cos x

    x^2 - x -> 2x - 1

    Try again with x = 0: 1 / -1 = -1

  3. sin(x)/(x²-x)

    = (sin(x)/x)/(x-1)

    As x→0:

    sin(x)/x → 1

    1/(x-1) → 1/(0-1) = -1

    The required limit is 1×(-1) = -1

  4. L Hospital rule:

    on differentiating Nr and Dr separately, the problem becomes

    lim x-->o  cosx/[2x-1]

    hence the answer is -1
