differantation l'hopital tule ln cosx/ln cos 3x
l 'hopital rule
are you trying to compute a limit?
yes
as \(x\to 0\) ?
yes
ok then you can take the derivative top and bottom separately you get \[\frac{3\cos(3x)\sin(3x)}{\cos(x)\sin(x)}\] if i am not mistaken
still get \(\frac{0}{0}\) so you have to do it again, using the product rule then you can replace \(x\) by \(0\)
do you use quotient rule??to differentiate the equation
L'Hopital's rule says you just take the derivative of the top, and then take the derivative of the bottom. You do not use the quotient rule.
@satellite73 can u show me the step
The derivative of ln cos(x) is 1/cos(x) *(-sin(x)) Similarly, the derivative of ln cos(3x) is 1/cos(3x) *(-3sin(3x)). This will give you a fraction over a fraction, which will simplify to what satellite73 posted. Unfortunately, you still end up with 0/0, so you have to use :L'Hopital's rule a second time.
thank u @calmat01
