Math Problem Statement

Use LHopital rule and give me the answer

Solution

The image contains an expression where the L'Hôpital's rule needs to be applied. I will first transcribe and solve it for you.

Expression:

limx0ex1x\lim_{{x \to 0}} \frac{e^x - 1}{x}

Solution using L'Hôpital's Rule:

L'Hôpital's Rule can be applied when you have an indeterminate form of the type 00\frac{0}{0} or \frac{\infty}{\infty}. The expression given is indeed of the form 00\frac{0}{0} as both the numerator ex1e^x - 1 and the denominator xx approach 0 as xx approaches 0.

  1. Differentiate the numerator and denominator:

    • Numerator: ddx(ex1)=ex\frac{d}{dx}(e^x - 1) = e^x
    • Denominator: ddx(x)=1\frac{d}{dx}(x) = 1
  2. Apply L'Hôpital's Rule: limx0ex1x=limx0ex1=e0=1\lim_{{x \to 0}} \frac{e^x - 1}{x} = \lim_{{x \to 0}} \frac{e^x}{1} = e^0 = 1

Final Answer:

limx0ex1x=1\lim_{{x \to 0}} \frac{e^x - 1}{x} = 1

Would you like further details or explanations on any part of this solution?

Relative Questions:

  1. What are the conditions for applying L'Hôpital's Rule?
  2. How would the limit change if the expression inside the limit was different, like ln(1+x)x\frac{\ln(1+x)}{x}?
  3. What happens to the limit if xx approaches infinity instead of zero?
  4. Can you use L'Hôpital's Rule for limits involving trigonometric functions?
  5. How does L'Hôpital's Rule extend to cases where multiple applications are needed?

Tip:

When applying L'Hôpital's Rule, always check that the conditions for the rule are met (i.e., the form is indeterminate) before proceeding.
