Math Problem Statement
Solution
The expression you provided is:
Step-by-Step Solution:
-
Evaluate the limit directly: Plugging in directly, we get: which results in the indeterminate form . Thus, we can apply L'Hôpital's Rule.
-
L'Hôpital's Rule: This rule states that for indeterminate forms like , we can take the derivative of the numerator and the denominator separately and then evaluate the limit.
-
Numerator's derivative: Use the product rule:
-
Denominator's derivative:
-
-
New limit: Now, we substitute the derivatives back into the limit expression: Let's evaluate this at :
- Numerator: When ,
- Denominator: When ,
Therefore, the limit becomes:
Thus, the value of the limit is:

L'Hôpital's Rule: If lim_{x -> c} f(x)/g(x) results in an indeterminate form, then lim_{x -> c} f(x)/g(x) = lim_{x -> c} f'(x)/g'(x) provided this limit exists.
