Flashcards
L'Hopital's Rule
L'Hopital's Rule
A rule used to evaluate limits of indeterminate forms, like 0/0 or ∞/∞, by taking the derivatives of the numerator and denominator separately.
Indeterminate Form
Indeterminate Form
A form of a limit that cannot be determined directly, such as 0/0 or ∞/∞. These forms can be resolved using L'Hopital's rule.
0/0
0/0
An indeterminate form that indicates a possible limit exists and can be found using L'Hopital's rule
