Answer

x=1

Explanation:

This is a rational function (a polynomial divided by another polynomial). The zeros of a rational function are the zeros of the numerator polynomial, provided that they do not occur in the denominator polynomial. If the zero is a zero of both numerator and denominator, we divide the common factor away to resolve the limit because then we have 0/0 which has to be resolved by limits.
