Question

How do you find the limit for an equation that equals 0/0?

Answer 1

Try to simplify algebraically or use l'Hospital's rule

Answer 2

l'Hopital's rule. gotta love it

Answer 3

would really help if you wrote the expression
\(\frac{0}{0}\) is a form, not a number, so it could be almost anything

Answer 4

it is entirely possible that you have not got to l'hopital yet, there are other methods

Answer 5

Okay so the limit that I need to find is x-2/x^2-x-2 as x approaches 2. It equals 0/0 and I don't know how to solve it another way.

Answer 6

factor out the denominator

Answer 7

see, no need for l'hopital
factor
cancel
replace \(x\) by \(2\)

Answer 8

So the answer would be 1/3?

Answer 9

What did you get when you factored?

Answer 10

(x-2)/(x+1) (x-2)

Answer 11

Okay 1/3 looks right

Answer 12

Thank you!

Answer 13

wait? is 0/0 an invalid form? or was it undefined?

Answer 14

It was undefined.
