Hopital's Rule helps us to find the limit of an Undefined
limits, like 0/0
, ∞/∞
and such. It's quite simple to apply and very convenient to solve some problems.
▶ Back previous note on: Asymptote of Rational Expressions
▶ Practice at Khan academy: Disguised derivatives
From my experience, the L'Hopital's Rule is so often been used that we didn't even realize. Actually it's been used almost every time when we are to evaluate the LIMITS OF RATIONAL EXPRESSIONS.
0/0
∞/∞
1^∞
L'Hopital Rule for Composite functions
Direct plug in the x=2
and get limit = 1^∞
, which is an indeterminate form
So we're gonna apply the Log Power Rule
to take down the power:
We use Natural Log for doing this:
And now we can apply the L'Hopital Rule
for ln(y)
:
From ln(y)
we could get limit of y
:
