lim sqrt(x) * ln(x) as x->0+ can someone help and explain this to me?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know its an indeterminate product, but I don't know where to go once I get (sqrt x) / (1/ln x)

myininaya (myininaya):

do you know l'hospital rule?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, I understand the setup for it meaning If I have f(x)*g(x) with an indeterminate product I get sqrtx/(1/ln x) then I am suppose to take derivative according to l'hospital rule

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got as far as to (1/(2sqrt x)) / (1 / x ln x^2)

myininaya (myininaya):

why don't you do it the other way instead?

myininaya (myininaya):

it might be easier ;)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whats the other way ?

myininaya (myininaya):

Do ln(x)/(x^(-1/2))

myininaya (myininaya):

much easier

myininaya (myininaya):

You just need one round of l'hospital then use some algebra to clean up

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am trying to work it out, but I think I may be on to something so thanks! .... I forgot completely about you can try it the other way.

myininaya (myininaya):

Ok I will be back later if you have more questions

OpenStudy (anonymous):
