Math Problem Statement
evaluate
Solution
The expression in the image is a limit:
This is a standard limit in calculus. To evaluate it, we can recognize that this is a definition for the derivative of at .
We can also solve it by applying L'Hopital's Rule, since both the numerator and denominator tend to 0 as .
Applying L'Hopital's Rule:
- Take the derivative of the numerator , which is .
- Take the derivative of the denominator , which is 1.
Thus, the limit becomes:
Therefore, the value of the limit is 1.
