limit problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

evaluate using l'hopital\[\lim_{x \rightarrow 0} (e^x-1-x)/x^2\]

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

L'Hôpital says \[ \large \lim_{x\to0}\frac{f(x)}{g(x)}=\lim_{x\to0}\frac{f'(x)}{g'(x)} \] where in your case \[ \large f(x)=e^x-1-x \] \[ \large g(x)=x^2 \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I can apply L'hopital more than one to the same problem, correct?

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

after differentiating you get lim (e^x -1)/2x which is still 0/0 so differentiate again lim e^x / 2 = 1/2

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

yes

thanks, i appreciate it
