Indeterminant 0/0...
H'hopital's rule says:
1/5 sqrt(1-x^2)
--------------------- * -----------------------------
1 + x^2/25 - 2x
now it is not an indeterminant:
1/5 over zero
Hi R.
asked 11/08/19Limit as x approaches 0 of arctan(x/5)/arcsin(x^2).
I used L'Hospital's rules but could not simplify it enough to get an actual answer but the answer that I got was DNE.

You got the right answer.
That fraction blows up as x goes to 0.
The derivative of the numerator is 5/(25+x2) which goes to 1/5 as x goes to 0.
The derivative of the denominator is 2x/sqrt(1-x2) which goes to 0 as x goes to 0...therefore, the fraction is unbounded as x goes to 0.
