Answer

\[0\]

Work Step by Step

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