How do you take L'Hopitals rule of this??(PROBLEM IN REPLY)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Problem is attached.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm having a hard time taking the L'hopitals rule of that problem(Problem is attached in reply).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i can't read it. is there really a 1 in front? anyway the idea is to take the log and then compute the limit

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ah I got it, the answer is 1/e.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

looks like it says \[\lim_{x\to \frac{\pi}{4}}\tan(x)^{\tan(2x)}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't know how to do it, this problem was so hard that someone asked him in class and he answered it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that what it says?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah, with a 1 up front, but that doesnt count really.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

take the log get \[\tan(2x)\ln(\tan(x))\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now you have something that looks like \[\infty\times 0\] so the gimmick is to rewrite using the reciprocal so you get \(\frac{0}{0}\) or \(\frac{\infty}{\infty}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

probably a good idea to use \[\frac{\ln(\tan(x))}{\cot(2x)}\] and now you can use l'hopital

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then whatever you get (apparently it is 2, i didn't do it) raise \(e\) to that power, because your first step was to take the log
