Evaluate: lim x→0 [(x^2)/(x)]
Answer
Step 1: Simplify the fraction: (x^2)/(x) = x for x ≠ 0. Step 2: Take the limit: lim x→0 x = 0. Answer: 0 Check: This is a 0/0 form, but the simplified limit is 0.
Evaluate: lim x→0 [(x)/(x)]
Answer
Step 1: Simplify the fraction: x/x = 1 for x ≠ 0. Step 2: Take the limit: lim x→0 1 = 1. Answer: 1 Check: This is a 0/0 form, and the result is not always 0.
Evaluate: lim x→0 [(x)/(x^2)]
Answer
Step 1: Simplify the fraction: x/(x^2) = 1/x for x ≠ 0. Step 2: Now study lim x→0 (1/x). Step 3: The values grow without bound in magnitude, so the limit is infinity in the usual classroom sense used …
Why is 0/0 called an indeterminate form?
Answer
Because knowing lim x→a f(x) = 0 and lim x→a g(x) = 0 does not fix the value of lim x→a [f(x)/g(x)]. Example patterns: 1. x^2/x → 0 2. x/x → 1 3. x/(x^2) → infinity Same form, different answers. So th…
When do you use L'Hôpital's Rule for a limit?
Answer
Use it only for indeterminate forms, mainly 0/0 or infinity/infinity. Rule idea: If lim x→a f(x) = 0 and lim x→a g(x) = 0, or both tend to infinity, and the derivative ratio has a limit l, then the or…
Apply L'Hôpital's Rule to lim x→0 [(sin 11x)/(7x)]
Answer
Step 1: Check the form. As x→0, sin 11x→0 and 7x→0, so it is 0/0. Step 2: Differentiate numerator and denominator separately. (sin 11x)' = 11 cos 11x (7x)' = 7 Step 3: Take the limit. lim x→0 [11 cos …
Evaluate: lim x→0 [(e^(7x)-1)/(5x)]
Answer
Step 1: Check the form. At x→0, e^(7x)-1→0 and 5x→0, so it is 0/0. Step 2: Differentiate separately. (e^(7x)-1)' = 7e^(7x) (5x)' = 5 Step 3: Substitute x=0. lim x→0 [7e^(7x)/5] = 7/5 Answer: 7/5…
What is the correct way to apply L'Hôpital's Rule?
Answer
The numerator and denominator are differentiated separately. The fraction f(x)/g(x) is not differentiated as a single quotient using the quotient rule. Correct idea: lim [f(x)/g(x)] becomes lim [f'(x)…
