Evaluate the limit below... (i will type it)
\[\lim_{x \rightarrow 0^{+}} xlx(x)\]
\[xln(x)\]
\[\lim_{x \rightarrow 0^{+}}x \ln(x)\]
direct substitution limit law, just put x=0. even though you are only looking at the right side limit, if you find the limit, then the left and right side limits are equal to that. im pretty sure this is correct
that just gives undefined, I think you may need the delta-epsilon thing
@colton: makes no sense here whatsoever because ln x doesn't exist when x = 0.
lHospitals rule
very easy
i know its a inderterminate form of the type \[(0 * -\infty)\] And need to use L'Hospital's rule i believe??
you can use L'hospital on this? I thought it had to evaluate to 0/0 to use L'hospital's rule
oh yeah, sorry, my bad
yes, following Zarkon's lead, write x ln x = ln x / (1/x)
ahhh!
\[\frac{\ln(x)}{1/x}\]
My professor, in some of his examples, manipulated the equation in such a way that it ended up to be 0/0 or infinity/infinity but im not sure how to do that?
Zarkon and James just did it, now use the rule on what Zarkon typed
and then you would take the derivative of the top and bottom \[\frac{\frac{1}{x}}{-\frac{1}{x^2}}\]
right which gives -x
ahh i see. Which would be 0/-infinity.. which is 0.. Now why the hell couldnt i figure that out on the test >.< lol.. Ty very much
