    Applications of Differential Calculus: L'Hospital's Rule

    Uploaded by

    Labib Hidayaturohman
    Differential calculus can be used to evaluate indeterminate limits of the form 0/0 and ∞/∞ using L'Hospital's rule. L'Hospital's rule states that if the limit of the derivative of the numerator exists and the limit of the derivative of the denominator exists, the original limit can be evaluated by taking the derivative of the numerator and denominator and evaluating the resulting limit. Examples are provided to demonstrate evaluating limits of tan(x)/sin(x) as x approaches 0 and ln(sin(x))/ln(x) as x approaches 0 from the positive side using L'Hospital's rule.
