When we are faced with a limit of the undeterminable form something divided by 0, we can use different methods to get the answer.

1. We can factor out the denominator so that we no longer get zero on the bottom.

2. We can use L'Hoptal's rule and plug our number into the derivative.

3. We can use algebra, and our knowledge of fractions to get the zero out of the denominator.

Using these methods will help us to handle limits that are of the undeterminable form 0/0 or someone divided by 0.
