How do I calculate $\lim_{x\rightarrow 0} x\ln x$

Substitute $x = e^y$, then if $x \to 0$, $y\to -\infty$. So the limit becomes $$\lim\limits_{x\to 0} x \ln x = \lim\limits_{y\to -\infty} y\cdot e^{y} = 0, $$ because $e^\cdot$ is stronger than any polynomial.


L Hospitals rule can be used,

$$\lim_{x\to 0}x\ln x=\lim_{x\to 0}\frac{\ln x}{\frac{1}{x}}$$

Using L hospitals Rule (as it has$\frac{-\infty}{\infty } $ form)we have,

$$\lim_{x\to 0}\frac{\ln x}{\frac{1}{x}}=\lim_{x\to 0}\frac{\frac{d\ln x}{dx}}{\frac{d\frac{1}{x}}{dx}}=\lim_{x\to 0}\frac{\frac{1}{x}}{\frac{-1}{x^2}}=\lim_{x\to 0}(-x)=0$$
