Can L'hopitals rule be applied to multivariable limits?(is there a definition that works with multiple variables)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if when subing in 0 you obtain and indefinite form

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the definition of the formula then

OpenStudy (anonymous):

take the limit of each separate component in vector is that what ur askin

OpenStudy (anonymous):

take the derivative

OpenStudy (anonymous):

until indeterm. form disappears

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I do not quite understand.. .how can you apply l'hopitals rule to multivariable calc when you can only find partial derivatives due to xy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for example two variables x and y are there in the limit to be evaluated. and if the limit approaches 0/0 as x tends to 0. just partial differentiate wrt to x
