Final answer:

When encountering an indeterminate form of 0/0, we can use L'Hôpital's Rule to find the limit of the expression.

Step-by-step explanation:

When we encounter an indeterminate form of 0/0, we can use L'Hôpital's Rule to find the limit of the expression. According to L'Hôpital's Rule, if the derivative of the numerator and the derivative of the denominator exist and the limit of their ratio exists, then that limit is the same as the limit of the original expression.

For example, let's say we have the expression lim(x→0) (sin(x))/x. This is an indeterminate form of 0/0. By applying L'Hôpital's Rule and taking the derivatives of the numerator and the denominator, we can find that the limit is equal to 1.
