Limit

I love limits

OpenStudy (anonymous):

They defined my life for the past year :D…they still do

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ln of 0 from the positive side is infinity right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1406083880301:dw| This is the graph of ln and as you approach 0 from the right you get negative infinity right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so ln(2)/ infinity is 0 because a constant over infinity or negative infinity is 0 right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then x to the 0 is 1 right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then you say Wallah and the answer is 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Am I not suppose to get 1 lol? Well got homework to do so hallah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ik this is a weird one

If you evaluate the limit straight off, we see that \(\large \lim\limits_{x\to 0^+} x^{\ln 2/(1+\ln x)} \rightarrow 0^0\). So we're going to need to rewrite this in a form where we can apply L'Hopital's rule. Suppose that the limit exists and that \(\large \lim\limits_{x\to0^+} x^{\ln 2/(1+\ln x)} = L\). Taking natural logs of both sides gives us \[\large \begin{aligned} \ln L &= \lim\limits_{x\to 0^+} \ln (x^{\ln 2/(1+\ln x)})\\ &= \lim\limits_{x\to0^+}\dfrac{\ln 2}{1+\ln x}\cdot \ln x\\ &= \ln 2\lim\limits_{x\to0^+}\frac{\ln x}{1+\ln x}\rightarrow \dfrac{\infty}{\infty}.\end{aligned}\] Now you can apply L'Hopital's rule at this point. Can you take things from here? :-)

Oh I forgot to plug in 0 for the main x ahahah. Listen to ^ dude

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes thank you so much! was kind of unsure about taking the ln of the limit but i guess i need to brush up on properties of limits
