Math Problem Statement
Solution
The image shows the limit:
Solving the limit:
We need to find the value of:
-
Direct Substitution:
- If we substitute directly, we get: which is undefined because division by zero is not allowed.
-
Using L'Hopital's Rule: L'Hopital's Rule applies when we have an indeterminate form like . Here, we already know direct substitution leads to undefined, so we proceed with L'Hopital's Rule:
- First, differentiate the numerator and denominator:
- Apply L'Hopital's Rule:
-
Substitute again:
Thus, the final answer is:
