Please help using L'hopital's Rule: Limit as x approaches 0+ x^(-1/2) sin(x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[ \lim_{x \rightarrow 0+} x^{-1/2} \sin x \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

by direct substitution I got 0/0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then I tried getting the derivatative using the quotient rule, but Im confused by the algebra.,

OpenStudy (crashonce):

http://mathworld.wolfram.com/LHospitalsRule.html will this help because apparantly the rule doesnt always work....-_______-

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im getting = 0 from wolfram but i need to understand how it got there using L'hopitals :S

OpenStudy (haseeb96):

just take the derivative of this given equation and get the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so when I substituted the 0 back into the derivative I should have put the denominator upstairs

OpenStudy (anonymous):

top get = 0 instead of 1/0
