The problem is the limit as x->0 from the left and right trend toward different infinities, meaning it's neither -infinity nor +infinity. Which makes me think that it's the value that's exactly in the middle, AKA zero. Why wouldn't 1/0 be zero? Division is just inverse-multiplication, and multiplying anything by zero is zero. Why wouldn't division use the same rules?
