Limit((-1 + x)/(-1 + x^3), x, 1)
Lopital's rule
We have indeterminateness of type
0/0,

i.e. limit for the numerator is
$$\lim_{x \to 1^+}\left(x - 1\right) = 0$$
and limit for the denominator is
$$\lim_{x \to 1^+}\left(x^{3} - 1\right) = 0$$
Let's take derivatives of the numerator and denominator until we eliminate indeterninateness.
$$\lim_{x \to 1^+}\left(\frac{x - 1}{x^{3} - 1}\right)$$
=
$$\lim_{x \to 1^+}\left(\frac{\frac{d}{d x} \left(x - 1\right)}{\frac{d}{d x} \left(x^{3} - 1\right)}\right)$$
=
$$\lim_{x \to 1^+}\left(\frac{1}{3 x^{2}}\right)$$
=
$$\lim_{x \to 1^+} \frac{1}{3}$$
=
$$\lim_{x \to 1^+} \frac{1}{3}$$
=
$$\frac{1}{3}$$
It can be seen that we have applied Lopital's rule (we have taken derivatives with respect to the numerator and denominator) 1 time(s)
