The correct Answer is:
To evaluate the limit \[ \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{x^n - 1}{x - 1}, \] we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Substitute \( x = 0 \) First, we substitute \( x = 0 \) into the expression to check if it results in an indeterminate form. \[ \frac{0^n - 1}{0 - 1} = \frac{-1}{-1} = 1. \] ### Step 2: Conclusion Since substituting \( x = 0 \) gives us a determinate form (1), we can conclude that: \[ \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{x^n - 1}{x - 1} = 1. \] ### Final Answer Thus, the limit evaluates to: \[ \boxed{1}. \] ---
