My apologies for the misunderstanding! You are absolutely right. Let's re-evaluate the limit with the correct numerator.

i. Evaluate lim⁡x→1x6−1x10−1\lim_{x \to 1} \frac{x^6 - 1}{x^{10} - 1}

  1. Check the form of the limit.

    If we substitute x=1x=1 into the expression, we get 16−1110−1=00\frac{1^6 - 1}{1^{10} - 1} = \frac{0}{0}, which is an indeterminate form. We can apply L'Hôpital's Rule.

  2. Apply L'Hôpital's Rule.

    Take the derivative of the numerator and the derivative of the denominator with respect to xx.
    Derivative of the numerator: ddx(x6−1)=6x5\frac{d}{dx}(x^6 - 1) = 6x^5
    Derivative of the denominator: ddx(x10−1)=10x9\frac{d}{dx}(x^{10} - 1) = 10x^9

  3. Evaluate the limit of the new expression.

    lim⁡x→16x510x9\lim_{x \to 1} \frac{6x^5}{10x^9}

    Substitute x=1x=1:

    6(1)510(1)9=610=35\frac{6(1)^5}{10(1)^9} = \frac{6}{10} = \frac{3}{5}

    The limit exists and is:

    35\frac{3}{5}
