Tenchusatsu,

When you have a ratio of functions that evaluates to 0/0, what you could do is differentiate both the numerator and the denominator, then calculate the results using the newly derived formulas.

That's a good answer. I tested it on (x - 1) / (X^2 - 1) which is 0 as x approaches 1. Differentiating I get 1 / 2, which is 0.5

I put together a simple Excel spreadsheet, by starting form 0.9, and incrementing by previous result + (1 - previous result) / 2, the ratio of the functions do converge to 0.5
