I came across this problem in an examination for beginners in Calculus:
Compute $\displaystyle \lim_{x\to 0}\frac{\sin(x^2+x)-x}{x^2}$.
It is easy to show that the limit is $1$ by using series or L'Hospital's Rule. But the examination is aimed to students that know only the basics of Calculus (derivatives of power functions and trigonometric functions, Chain Rule, Mean Value Theorem basically).
How to compute this limit by elementary means?
