When facing an indeterminate form, students will often write: lim x!a f (x) g(x) = lim x!a f 0(x) g0(x) which is, strictly speaking, wrong. 3 0 obj S Click here for solutions. �:9�ޔ��R�gAM�EAm qa=I*&��3�B��r�N��9�m�ے��s�a SECTIONS 7.7 and 8.8 - FORMULA SHEET 7.7 - INDETERMINATE FORMS AND L’HOSPITAL’S RULE Suppose f and g are di erentiable. 45 0 obj <>/Filter/FlateDecode/ID[<0DA660C189E53E44BE142AB1F60C4DCF>]/Index[29 30]/Info 28 0 R/Length 81/Prev 34484/Root 30 0 R/Size 59/Type/XRef/W[1 2 1]>>stream 0 18. Such cases are called “indeterminate form 0/0”. by Subject; Expert Tutors Contributing. 4 0 obj Similarly, the indeterminant form can be obtained in the addition, subtraction, multiplication, exponential operations also. 1 3 21. m n 22.1 23. 2 3 20. 3 2 4. However, we also tend to think of fractions in which the denominator is going to zero, in the limit, as infinity or might not exist at all. Recall when we encountered a 0/0 in a rational expression, we could perhaps “fix” the behavior and analyze the limit by factoring and canceling terms. d`8t�g 0 ~�!& 2 0 obj Main Menu; by School; by Textbook; by Literature Title. 0 9. endstream endobj 30 0 obj <> endobj 31 0 obj <> endobj 32 0 obj <>stream ∞into 0 1/∞ or into ∞ 1/0, for example one can write lim x→∞xe −x as lim x→∞x/e xor as lim x→∞e −x/(1/x). endstream endobj startxref ∞ 8. Example. 0 2 7. In most of the cases, the indeterminate form occurs while taking the ratio of two functions, such that both of the function approaches to zero in the limit. 1 4 2. The key idea is that we must rewrite the indeterminate forms in such a way that we arrive at the indeterminate form \(\dfrac{0}{0}\) or \(∞/∞\). Study Guides Infographics. Next we realize why these are indeterminate forms and then understand how to use L’Hôpital’s rule in these cases. Both of these are called indeterminate forms. 1 2 5. %PDF-1.5 endobj Lecture 7 : Indeterminate Forms Recall that we calculated the following limit using geometry in Calculus 1: lim x!0 sinx x = 1: De nition An indeterminate form of the type 0 0 is a limit of a quotient where both numerator and denominator approach 0. 1 0 obj In the case of 0/0 we typically think of a fraction that has a numerator of zero as being zero. <>/XObject<>/Pattern<>/Font<>/ProcSet[/PDF/Text/ImageB/ImageC/ImageI] >>/MediaBox[ 0 0 720 540] /Contents 4 0 R/Group<>/Tabs/S/StructParents 0>> Rather, they represent forms that arise when trying to evaluate certain limits.

Indeterminate Forms Recall that the forms and are called indeterminatebecause they do not guarantee that a limit exists, nor do they indicate what the limit is, if one does exist.
