Anyone know how to solve this? Recently goes this as a question and kept getting stuck after factoring x from the bottom.
 
Heres what i've tried, I have a feeling I did something wrong and that it isn't actually undefined.

Because once I insert the limit then 3((e^x)-1)/x = 3 because ((e^x)-1)/x=1
However 2x+9x^2 = 2(0)+9(0)^2
So all of it will be (7+3(1))*(1/0) which will give me undefined.

Look at that again. Both the numerator and denominator go to 0 when we take the limit. It may be undefined and it may not be.

Do you know how to use l'Hopital's rule?

We haven't gotten this far into our lectures, we've just been applying limits.

Also sorry i didn't exactly make it clear but we're applying this limit rule (((e^x)-1)/x) = 1

This is fine! Remember, lim (a+b) = lim a + lim b, and the same works for products. Cancel out the x, use the e^x limit, and bring it all together in the end.
