L'Hopital's rule help
my functions are
lim as x apporaches 0 (4-x^2)(7+3x^2)/10x^4+28 and I got -3/10 and my lim
lim as x apporaches 0 e^2x-cos2x/x^2+9x my answer was 1/9
lim as x apporaches infinity 5x^3-4x-8/ 5x^4+8x+3 and I got 0
lim as x apporaches infinity 6x/lnx and I got 0
@agent0smith can you help?

HI!!
OpenStudy (misty1212):
if you get \(\frac{0}{0}\) with polynomials, that means you can factor and cancel
OpenStudy (tumblewolf):
I usually just keep taking derivatives until something works
OpenStudy (misty1212):
did you try plugging in 0 first?
OpenStudy (tumblewolf):
yes

what did you get? erase all the x's
it is not what you wrote
OpenStudy (misty1212):
\[\frac{4\times 7}{28}=?\]
OpenStudy (tumblewolf):
=1?
OpenStudy (misty1212):
yes
OpenStudy (misty1212):
you can't use l'hopital here, since it is not "indeterminate" it is just 1

how do you get to the just (4) (7) /28?
OpenStudy (tumblewolf):
oh never mind on that part
OpenStudy (tumblewolf):
The last three are the ones I really need help with
OpenStudy (agent0smith):
L'hopital's rule is easy. Take the derivative of the numerator, take the derivative of the denominator, then see if you can evaluate it.
OpenStudy (tumblewolf):
My numbers just seem really weird

the second problem is indeterminate 0/0 so you can use l'hopital
2e^2x + 2sin2x/ 2x+9
OpenStudy (alekos):
now just put x=0
OpenStudy (tumblewolf):
2+2/9?
OpenStudy (agent0smith):
sin0 is not 1
OpenStudy (tumblewolf):
It would be cos(o) right?

for the third one you just use L'hopital twice and you'll end up in the form of
Lim x-> inf A/x which is 0
OpenStudy (alekos):
for the 4th one using L'hopital once we get
Lim x->inf 6/(1/x) = Lim x->inf 6x
OpenStudy (alekos):
This is not zero
OpenStudy (tumblewolf):
\[\frac{ 6 }{ \frac{ 1 }{ x } }\]
OpenStudy (tumblewolf):
is this not right?

yes and that becomes 6x
OpenStudy (alekos):
for the 2nd one the answer is 2/9
OpenStudy (tumblewolf):
How do you determine the final answer for the 6x
OpenStudy (agent0smith):
What does 6x approach, when x approaches infinity?
OpenStudy (tumblewolf):
infinity?
