radicals - Finding limit (or rather simplifying) a specific function



The question is asking to find the limit of: limx01+x1xx

If we plug x into the equation, both the denominator and numerator become 0 so I have to simplify the equation somehow. The answer according to the textbook is 1 although I have no clue as to how I would get that answer myself. Any hints are greatly appreciated!


Answer




Hint: 1+x1xx=(1+x1x)(1+x+1x)x(1+x+1x)=1+x(1x)x(1+x+1x)=21+x+1x.
