is 1 the anser?

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

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
?

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.
