'Hpital's rule is a powerful tool for computing limits of indeterminate

form / or 0/0 We recall the statement of L'Hospital's rule below,


L'Hospital's rule.
Suppose f and g are functions differentiable at
x = a, and limxa f(x)/g(x) is of indeterminate form, i.e.
limxa f(x) = limxa g(x) = 0, or
limxa f(x) = and limxa g(x) = .
Then limxaf(x)/g(x) = limxaf(x)/g(x)
(provided the limit on the right-hand side exists).
Now that we have the natural logarithm at our disposal, we can apply
L'Hospital's rule to an even larger class of limits- specially, those limits
of indeterminate form1, 00, and 0

'Hospital's Rule to evaluate an intermediate form of type 0 0
