    L'Hopital's rule provides a method to evaluate limits that are indeterminate forms, such as 0/0 or ∞/∞. It states that if the limit of the numerator and denominator of a fraction both approach 0 or ±∞, and the functions are differentiable, then the limit can be found by taking the derivative of the numerator and denominator and evaluating the limit of the resulting quotient. The rule can be applied when taking limits as the variable approaches a number or ±∞. Other indeterminate forms like 0×∞ can be rearranged to the form 0/0 or ∞/∞ before applying L'Hopital's rule.

    Summary: Unit 2 Lecture 1 Review L’Hôpital’s

    Rule

    0
    L’Hôpital’s Rule Version 1: Indeterminate form
    0
    If
    f (x) → 0
    as x → a,
    g(x) → 0
    and the functions f and g are differentiable near the point x = a, then limit
    f (x) f 0 (x)
    lim = lim 0 (1)
    x→a g(x) x→a g (x)

    provided that the right hand limit exists or is ±∞.

    ∞
    L’Hôpital’s Rule Version 2: Indeterminate form
    ∞
    If
    f (x) → ±∞
    as x → a,
    g(x) → ±∞
    and the functions f and g are differentiable near the point x = a, then limit
    f (x) f 0 (x)
    lim = lim 0 (2)
    x→a g(x) x→a g (x)

    provided that the right hand limit exists or is ±∞.


    Note that
    • We can replace a with a+ or a− and the results (versions 1 and 2) still hold.
    • We can replace a with ±∞, and the results (versions 1 and 2) still hold.

    Other indeterminate forms


    Other indeterminate forms 0 · ∞, ∞ − ∞, 00 , 1∞ , and ∞0 should be rearranged
    to be of the form 0/0 or ∞/∞ in order to apply l’Hôpital’s rule.
