Tell me if I am using the L'H'S rule correct.
Hah, i wish I could tell you U_U you teach me bruh >.>
\[\huge\color{red}{ \lim_{x \rightarrow 3} ~~\frac{x^2-9}{x-3} }\] I know what you will tell me, factor out cancel x-3 on top and bottom, but I have to use L'H'S rule.
\[\huge\color{red}{ \lim_{x \rightarrow 3} ~~\frac{x^2-9}{x-3} }\] \[\huge\color{red}{ \frac{(x^2-9)'}{(x-3)'} }\] so far so good? correct?
now, \[\huge\color{red}{ (f-g)'= f'g-g'f }\]
This is very interesting. What do you suppose I make of it?
\[\color{red}{ \frac{(x^2-9)'}{(x-3)'} = \frac{2x \times 9~~~+~~~0 \times x^2}{(1 \times 3)~~~+~~~0 \times x}=\frac{2x \times 9}{(1 \times 3)} =\frac{2x \times 9}{(3)}}\] what? no it's wrong then.
How would I use L'H'S here?
The rule is correct but you have not taken the derivatives correctly. They should be 2x and 1. You do not multiply at all.
(f - g)' = f' - g'
ranga, no.
Except to plugin to the resulting equation.
IS the derivative of a constant=0 right?
Yes.
You are using the product rule for a derivative when there is subtraction.
OH ^
Yeah, and how do I derive when there is a subtraction?
(f - g)' = f' - g'
Ok, sorry then my bad., okay ranga.
You take the derivatives of the lower and upper equations separately, which gives you lim as x goes to 3 2x. Plug 3 into that limit to get lim x goes to. 3=6
\[\frac{2x -0}{1-0}\]?
That is correct.
So, to get the final answer, I plug in 3 for x?
yes. lim x->3 (2x) = 2*3 = 6
after L'H'S of course )
Thank you ranga!
You are welcome.
Very good job gentlemen. I'm impressed.
