Flashcard 1: Determine the form of limx→∞x3ex without evaluating.
Answer: ∞∞. Both ex→∞ and x3→∞ as x→∞.
Flashcard 2: What must be true about f′(x) and g′(x) for L'Hospital's Rule to apply?
Answer: f′(x) and g′(x) must exist near c and g′(x)=0. Ensures the rule can be applied and gives a valid result.
Flashcard 3: Evaluate limx→0xsin2x using L'Hospital's Rule.
Answer:
dxd(sin2x)=2cos2x, so 12cos0=2.
Flashcard 4: Is L'Hospital's Rule applicable to limx→0sinxx2?
Answer: Yes, the limit is in the form 00. Both 02=0 and sin0=0 at x=0.
Flashcard 5: Evaluate limx→∞xlnx using L'Hospital's Rule.
Answer:
dxd(lnx)=x1 and dxd(x)=1, so 11/x→0.
Flashcard 6: Can L'Hospital's Rule be applied repeatedly?
Answer: Yes, if 00 or ∞∞ persists after differentiation. Continue applying until a determinate form is reached.
Flashcard 7: Evaluate limx→∞x2−42x2+3x using L'Hospital's Rule.
Answer:
Apply L'Hospital's Rule: 2x4x+3→24=2.
Flashcard 8: Evaluate limx→0xarcsinx using L'Hospital's Rule.
Answer:
dxd(arcsinx)=1−x21, so 11=1.
Flashcard 9: Evaluate limx→0xln(1+x) using L'Hospital's Rule.
Answer:
dxd(ln(1+x))=1+x1, so 11=1.
Flashcard 10: Evaluate limx→∞x2+1x using L'Hospital's Rule.
Answer:
dxd(x)=1 and dxd(x2+1)=2x, so 2x1→0.
Flashcard 11: State L'Hospital's Rule for limits of indeterminate forms.
Answer: limx→cg(x)f(x)=limx→cg′(x)f′(x), if the limit exists. Take derivatives of numerator and denominator separately.
Flashcard 12: Evaluate limx→∞x2lnx using L'Hospital's Rule.
Answer:
Apply L'Hospital's Rule: 2x1/x=2x21→0.
Flashcard 13: Determine if L'Hospital's Rule applies: limx→∞exx3.
Answer: Yes, the limit is in the form ∞∞. Both x3→∞ and ex→∞ as x→∞.
Flashcard 14: Find limx→0xtanx using L'Hospital's Rule.
Answer:
dxd(tanx)=sec2x and dxd(x)=1, so 11=1.
Flashcard 15: What is the basic condition to apply L'Hospital's Rule?
Answer: The limit must be in the form 00 or ∞∞. These are the only indeterminate forms where L'Hospital's Rule applies.
Flashcard 16: Find limx→∞exx2 using L'Hospital's Rule.
Answer:
Apply L'Hospital's Rule twice to get ex2→0.
Flashcard 17: Determine if L'Hospital's Rule applies: limx→1x−1x2−1.
Answer: Yes, the limit is in the form 00. Both (1)2−1=0 and 1−1=0 at x=1.
Flashcard 18: Find limx→0x2ex−1−x using L'Hospital's Rule.
