help! i dont understand L'hopital's rule

OpenStudy (anonymous):

give the question and let me lecture you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What part

OpenStudy (el_arrow):

this two problems

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@perl my tutor could help here

OpenStudy (el_arrow):

i understand the tests but the l'hopitals i always mess up i dont get how they get those

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you just take derivative of denom and num

OpenStudy (anonymous):

f/g becomes f'/g'

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but you can only do l hopitals in certain situations

OpenStudy (perl):

Which part is unclear $$\stackrel{H}{\Rightarrow}$$

OpenStudy (el_arrow):

like how did nsin(1/n) turn into sin(1/n) / (1/n)

OpenStudy (perl):

because $$ \Large \rm n = \frac{1}{ \frac 1n} $$

OpenStudy (el_arrow):

and tan(1/x) / (1/x) turn into sec^2(1/x)*(-1/x^2) / (-1/x^2)

OpenStudy (el_arrow):

how is n equal to that

OpenStudy (perl):

$$ \Huge \rm 2 = \frac{1}{ \frac 12} $$

OpenStudy (perl):

by properties of fractions

OpenStudy (el_arrow):

oh okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i told you perl will do it

OpenStudy (el_arrow):

but where does the top 1 come from

OpenStudy (perl):

$$\Huge \rm { \frac{1}{ \frac 1n} = \frac{1}{ \frac 1n }\cdot \frac{\frac n 1}{ \frac n 1} \\~\\ = \frac{1}{ \frac 1{\cancel n} }\cdot \frac{\frac n 1}{ \frac {\cancel{n}} 1} } $$

OpenStudy (perl):

do you agree the left side equals right side

OpenStudy (el_arrow):

yeah

OpenStudy (perl):

|dw:1429136817477:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@El_Arrow make sure you fan @perl he is very Good just that he most times is busy

OpenStudy (el_arrow):

but then how do you turn that into |dw:1429136996599:dw|
