Math Problem Statement
Solution
To solve the given limit using L'Hospital's Rule, we must first evaluate if the limit results in an indeterminate form like . The limit is:
Step 1: Check for indeterminate form
As :
Thus, the limit is of the form , so we can apply L'Hospital's Rule, which states that if the limit results in , we take the derivative of the numerator and denominator separately.
Step 2: Differentiate the numerator and denominator
- The derivative of is .
- The derivative of is .
Thus, the new limit becomes:
Step 3: Simplify the expression
At :
- , and , so
Therefore, the limit simplifies to:
