limit as x approaches 0 of (x^2-x)/(2x)

x \to 0 lim (\frac{x ^{2} - x}{2 x})

- \frac{1}{2}

Decimal

- 0.5

Solution steps

x \to 0 lim (\frac{x ^{2} - x}{2 x})

Simplify

\frac{x ^{2} - x}{2 x} : \frac{1}{2} (x - 1)

= x \to 0 lim (\frac{1}{2} (x - 1))

Plug in the value

x = 0

= \frac{1}{2} (0 - 1)

Simplify

= - \frac{1}{2}
