    This document provides an overview of L'Hopital's Rule and curve sketching techniques. L'Hopital's Rule states that if the limit of a quotient of functions is an indeterminate form of 0/0 or infinity/infinity, it can be evaluated by taking the limit of the quotient of the derivatives. The document also notes that curve sketching involves finding horizontal, vertical and slant asymptotes and using derivatives to understand the shape of a graph.

    LHopitals Rule:
    Let f and g be differentiable functions with g 0 (x) 6= 0 on an open interval I that
    contains the point a (except possibly at a). Suppose that
    lim f (x) = 0 and

    xa

    lim g(x) = 0

    xa

    or that
    lim f (x) = and

    xa

    lim g(x) = .

    xa

    Then
    f (x)
    f 0 (x)
    = lim 0
    xa g(x)
    xa g (x)
    lim

    if the limit on the right side exists (or is ).
