l'Hospital's rule
Topic Notes
Remember that one tricky Limits section that required intense algebraic manipulation to avoid getting 0/0 or infinity/infinity limits? We will now revisit it again, but with the knowledge of derivatives. In this section, we will learn how derivatives enable us to efficiently evaluate the limits of a function using the "L'Hospital's rule".
Note *l'Hôpital's Rule applies to 2 types of indeterminate forms:
type (that is, x → and x →)
or
type (that is, x → and x →)
Then according to l'Hôpital's Rule: x → x →
type (that is, x → and x →)
or
type (that is, x → and x →)
Then according to l'Hôpital's Rule: x → x →
