l'hopital rule: lim as t approaches 0 (e^2t-1)/(sin t) ____________________ so when i plug in t as 0, i get 0/0 therefore i can apply l'hopital's rule. once i take the derivative, i get (e^2t)/(cos t). taking the limit to zero, i get 1/1 which equals 1, but the book says 2.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No there is a chain rule piece when you apply l'hopital's rule. You will get (2e^(2t))/(cos t). If you take the limit to 0, you get 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the derivative of e^x is e^x right? if its e^2x i chain it so it becomes 2e^x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, e^(2x) becomes 2e^(2x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would you like me to explain why?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh nevermind

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got it

thank you so much
