Math Problem Statement
How do you get 1 + ( infinity/infinity)
Solution
In the expression you provided, we are examining a limit as involving the function . Specifically, it looks like the expression is:
This simplifies to:
which can be further simplified as:
Now, let's break down what happens here:
- As , approaches because diverges negatively as gets close to zero from the right.
- Meanwhile, approaches from the positive side.
Thus, we have a limit that involves , which is an indeterminate form. To evaluate this, we can apply L'Hôpital's Rule after rewriting the expression:
Applying L'Hôpital's Rule involves differentiating the numerator and the denominator:
- The derivative of with respect to is .
- The derivative of with respect to is .
So we have:
Thus, the entire expression becomes:
So, the final answer is . The form observed initially was an intermediate form that required L'Hôpital's Rule to resolve.
