Describe how l'hopital's rule works

Question

inkyvoyd · Answer

do you want a proof outline? thomas and finney gives a pretty good one

anonymous · Answer

It is applied in case finding limits of fractions under a condition that the limit is "indeterminate"
Only in both cases u apply L'hopitals rule= derivative up / derivative down
Independently
Then u check your limit if it stays indeterminate... U keep applying L'hopital till your limit answer is accepted.
I.e any constant or infinity

I hope this is helpful :)
