SUMMARY
The limit of ln(x)/x as x approaches 0 from the right is evaluated as an indeterminate form of type -∞/0. The correct approach involves recognizing that as x approaches 0, ln(x) approaches -∞ while x remains positive, leading to the conclusion that the limit diverges to -∞. This analysis confirms that the limit does not yield a finite value but rather indicates the behavior of the function near the specified point.
