Rationalising turns the 00\tfrac00 form into 21+x+1−x\dfrac{2}{\sqrt{1+x}+\sqrt{1-x}}, whose limit is 11.

Step 1 — Conjugate multiply by 1+x+1−x\sqrt{1+x}+\sqrt{1-x}:

(1+x)−(1−x)x(1+x+1−x).\frac{(1+x)-(1-x)}{x\big(\sqrt{1+x}+\sqrt{1-x}\big)}.

Step 2 — Numerator =2x=2x:

=2xx(1+x+1−x)=21+x+1−x(xeq0).=\frac{2x}{x\big(\sqrt{1+x}+\sqrt{1-x}\big)}=\frac{2}{\sqrt{1+x}+\sqrt{1-x}}\quad(x eq0).
