∞∞the fraction with numerator infinity and denominator infinity end-fraction Feature Overview: L'Hôpital's Rule

L'Hôpital's Rule allows you to resolve indeterminate limits by differentiating the numerator and the denominator separately. Suppose that are differentiable and on an open interval that contains (except possibly at : Take the derivative of the top function

limx→af(x)=0 and limx→ag(x)=0limit over x right arrow a of f of x equals 0 and limit over x right arrow a of g of x equals 0

The key feature for Section 4.7 is , which simplifies the calculation of limits for indeterminate quotients by using derivatives. Suppose that are differentiable and on an open

, can have a determined limit for their ratio based on their slopes (derivatives) at that point. ✅ Result
