L'Hospital's Rule:
L'Hospital's rule states that if $\lim_{x \to a} \frac{f(x)}{g(x)}$ produces an indeterminate form $\frac{0}{0}$ or $\frac{\infty}{\infty}$, then:
$$\lim_{x \to a} \frac{f(x)}{g(x)} = \lim_{x \to a} \frac{f'(x)}{g'(x)}$$
provided the limit on the right exists (or is infinite).
Evaluate:
-
$\lim_{x \to 0} (\sec x)^{\frac{1}{x^2}}$
-
$\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{x - \sin x}{x^3}$
- Limit 1: $\displaystyle \lim{x \to 0} (\sec x)^{1/x^2}$ - Limit 2: $\displaystyle \lim{x \to 0} \frac{x - \sin x}{x^3}$ - Marks split: [1 + 4] All required data present. --- If $f$ and $g$ are differentiable near $x = a$ (with $g'(x) \neq 0$ near $a$) and the limit $$\lim{x \to a} \frac{f(x)}{g...
