Rewrite x ln x x\ln{x} as ln x 1 x \frac{\ln{x}}{\frac{1}{x}} , then we can apply L'Hôpital's rule to get x -x , hence the answer is 0 0 .

ln(x)= (x-1) - ((x-1)^2)/2 + ((x-1)^3)/3 -................... each term have only one free term when this free term is multiplied by x in xln(x) then the less term will be x when getting lim when x tends to zero , it will be zero

We have an indetermination 0 \infty*0 . The limit can be rewritten as:

lim x 0 + ln x 1 / x \lim_{x \to 0^{+}} \frac {\ln x} {1/x}

and we have a \infty * \infty indetermination. Using L'Hopital, we have:

lim x 0 + ln x 1 / x = lim x 0 + 1 / x 1 / x 2 = lim x 0 + x 2 x = lim x 0 + x = 0 \lim_{x \to 0^{+}} \frac {\ln x} {1/x} = \lim_{x \to 0^{+}} \frac {1/x} {-1/x^2} = \lim_{x \to 0^{+}} \frac {x^2} {-x} = \lim_{x \to 0^{+}} x = \boxed{0}
