### Calculating Limits Using L'Hôpital's Rule

#### Task:
Compute the following limits using L'Hôpital's rule if appropriate. Use **INF** to denote \( \infty \) and **MINF** to denote \( -\infty \).

1. \[
   \lim_{{x \to 0}} \frac{1 - \cos(2x)}{1 - \cos(8x)} = \, \boxed{}
   \]

2. \[
   \lim_{{x \to 1}} \frac{9^x - 8^x - 1}{x^2 - 1} = \, \boxed{}
   \]

#### Explanation:
The above expressions require you to find the limits as \( x \) approaches a specified value. L'Hôpital's rule may be used if you encounter an indeterminate form such as \( \frac{0}{0} \) or \( \frac{\infty}{\infty} \).

- **L'Hôpital's Rule** can be applied when both the numerator and denominator approach 0 or \( \infty \).
- Differentiate the numerator and the denominator separately until the limit can be evaluated.

#### Notes:
- The boxed areas are for you to fill in after solving the limits.
- Make sure to verify the conditions for applying L'Hôpital's rule.
