lim x➝0± 3x-5/x

sam (.sam.):

L[x:0,(3x-5)/(x)] L'Hospital's Rule states that the limit of a quotient of functions is equal to the limit of the quotient of their derivatives. L[x:0,(3x-5)/(x)]=L[x:0]( (d)/(dx) (3x-5))/( (d)/(dx) x) Find the derivative of the numerator. (d)/(dx) 3x-5=3 Find the derivative of the denominator. (d)/(dx) x=1 The limit of 3 as x approaches 0 is 3 L[x:0,3]=3 The L[x:0,((3x-5))/(x)] is 3. L[x:0,(3x-5)/(x)]=3

\[\lim_{x \rightarrow 0^+} \frac{3x-5}{x}=3-\frac{5}{x}=-\infty\] \[\lim_{x \rightarrow 0^-} \frac{3x-5}{x}=3-\frac{5}{x}=+\infty\]

L`Hospital rule only valids when there is \[\frac \infty \infty \] or \[\frac00\]
