Answer

\[\lim_{x\rightarrow 1}\frac{x\sin (x-1)}{2x^2-x-1}=\frac{1}{3}\]

Work Step by Step

Let \[l=\lim_{x\rightarrow 1}\frac{x\sin (x-1)}{2x^2-x-1}\] Which is $\frac{0}{0}$ form Using L'Hopital's rule \[l=\lim_{x\rightarrow 1}\frac{\{x\sin (x-1)\}'}{\{2x^2-x-1\}'}\] \[l=\lim_{x\rightarrow 1}\frac{\sin (x-1)+x\cos (x-1)}{4x-1}\] \[\Rightarrow l=\frac{\sin (1-1)+1\cos (1-1)}{4(1)-1}\] \[\Rightarrow l=\frac{1}{3}\] Hence, \[\lim_{x\rightarrow 1}\frac{x\sin (x-1)}{2x^2-x-1}=\frac{1}{3}\]
