Help please, how would I find this limit?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\lim_{x \rightarrow 0+}x(\ln x)^2\]

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

separate it into product of limits, I guess.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

looks like \(0\times -\infty\) the gimmick here is to rewrite it as \[\lim_{x\to 0^+}\frac{(\ln(x))^2}{\frac{1}{x}}\] the use l'hopital

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It also says: (Hint: either substitute x = t^2 or write x = (x^1/2)^2 and combine.)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

btw i was wrong, it is not \(0\times -\infty\) it is \(0\times \infty\) i forgot about the square

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I graphed it on desmos, and it does seem as though it is 0 https://www.desmos.com/calculator/sowqhq9bjg

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do any of you guys know how to solve it using the hint, like with the substitution?

OpenStudy (misty1212):

no

OpenStudy (misty1212):

\[\lim_{x \rightarrow 0+}x(\ln x)^2\] \[\lim_{t \rightarrow 0+}t^2(\ln x(t^2))^2\]

OpenStudy (misty1212):

\[\lim_{t \rightarrow 0+}t^2(\ln (t^2))^2\] \[\lim_{t \rightarrow 0+}t^24(\ln (t))^2\]

OpenStudy (misty1212):

not sure what that accomplishes why do all the limit questions come with the stupid proviso "no l'hopital"?
