f(x)
Use the graphs of f and g and their tangent lines at (2, 0) to find lim .
x→2 g(x)

y = 1.4(x − 2)

y=2−x

-1.4 -7/5

Solution or Explanation
From the graphs of f and g, we see that lim f(x) = 0 and lim g(x) = 0, so l'Hospital's Rule applies.
x→2 x→2

lim f ′(x)
f(x) f ′(x) x→2 f ′(2) 1.4 7
lim = lim = = = =−
x→2 g(x) x→2 g ′(x) lim g ′(x) g ′(2) −1 5

What happens if you try to use l'Hospital's Rule to find the limit?

sec(x)

x → (𝜋 ⁄ 2)
lim
− tan(x)

You cannot apply L'Hospital's Rule because the numerator equals zero for some value x = a.
You cannot apply L'Hospital's Rule because the function is not differentiable.

You cannot apply L'Hospital's Rule because the denominator equals zero for some value x = a.

Repeated applications of L'Hospital's Rule result in the original limit or the limit of the reciprocal of the function.

You cannot apply L'Hospital's Rule because the function is not continuous.

Evaluate the limit using another method.

Solution or Explanation
Using l'Hospital's Rule,

sec(x) sec(x) tan(x) tan(x)

x → (𝜋 ⁄ 2) x → (𝜋 ⁄ 2) x → (𝜋 ⁄ 2)
lim = lim = lim .
− tan(x) − sec 2(x) − sec(x)

Repeated applications of l'Hospital's Rule result in the original limit or the limit of the reciprocal of the function. Another method is to simplify first.

sec(x) cos(x) 1 1

x → (𝜋 ⁄ 2) x → (𝜋 ⁄ 2) x → (𝜋 ⁄ 2)
