could anyone tell me if this have a limit:
lim ((exp(x)-1-x)^2)/(x^2 - ln(x^2+1)))
x->0

My conclusion is that this doesn't have a limit. Tried everything, this is an problem that i run into.

Have you tried applying L'Hospital's?

Have you tried using Maclaurin Series to solve this problem? :)
Hint:
The expansion of exp(x) arround x = 0 is:
[tex]e ^ x = 1 + x + \frac{x ^ 2}{2} + ...[/tex]
The expansion of ln(x + 1) arround x = 0 is:
[tex]\ln (x + 1) = x - \frac{x ^ 2}{2} + ...[/tex]
So what's the expansion of ln(x2 + 1) arround x = 0?
Can you go from here? :)
