OpenStudy (anonymous):

4 (l'hospitals rule)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you very much

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you tried it and it worked out?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we havnt done hospitals rule yet,and i looked it yup and you take the derivative of that of both functions right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah...take derivative of top and bottom separetly. use the same limit and evaluate. if it still tends to infinity then you can rinse repeat until it converges to a limit

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay im still very new to derivatives(we learned them slightly in physics) but the the derivative of the function X-1 equals 0 because the derivative of the x=1 and if i rewrite the bottom as (x-3)^-1/2 and take the take the derivative of that i get 2(x-3)^2-1 which i simplify to 2(x-3)^-1 and the i plug in my limit value which gives me 1/4^-1 or 4. is that all correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep thats what i did

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you very much

OpenStudy (anonymous):

See if you can follow this...previous scan cut off

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i could follow it thanks so much

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im assuming i will start understanding them when i we start talking about them in calc because we will go in depth with them, in physics we spent one day on them

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah, usually get into limits when your learning the fundamentals of calculus. it's usually anything but exciting when your doing limits. good luck
