self learning - How is this limit calculated without l'Hospital?




In this question: Solving limit without L'Hôpital



The answer is as follows:



limx05x+25x=limx0(5x+25)(5+x+25)x(5+x+25)=limx025(x+25)x(5+x+25)=110



Expanding the fraction makes sense, but I dont understand how we get 110 as a result. Because when you put in 0 for x ( which I intuitively did) I get 00 as a result, which doesnt get me anywhere withou l'Hospital.



What step did I miss ?



Answer



limx025(x+25)x(5+x+25)=limx0xx(5+x+25)=limx015+x+25


Note that after the second step we cancel out the x in the numerator and denominator, and are left with an expression with which we can evaluate at x=0.
