Find the limit using lo hospitals rule

OpenStudy (pokemon23):

..?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

limit x->0 (1+4x)^(#/x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

limit x->0 (1+4x)^(3/x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is 1 the anser?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

limit of the (3/x) by using l'hospital is 0 and from there limit x-> 1^1=1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry 1^0=1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but you should have something diving something to use lopetals

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you take derivative of 3 and x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0/1 makes 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but you don't apply it for 1+4x

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Exactly, take log(to base e) to get 3log(1+4x)/x and get 12 with l'hôpital's rule. The limit is therefore e^12.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

actually the problem here is for 3/x though

OpenStudy (anonymous):

mathmate that is the answer but how did you make it like that ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got it

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Use l'hôpital's rule on 3log(1+4x) / x the numerator becomes (3/(1+4x))*4 and the denominator is 1. When x->0, then the expression becomes 12. Since we took log(to base e) before, we only have to take the "anti-log" to get e^12.
