Understanding Limits and L'Hospital's Rule
We learned about limits earlier in this series. We know what they represent, and we know how to evaluate them. Then we found that we don't need them that much, because we have better methods for differentiating functions than all that business with tangent lines and limits. But limits still have applications, and we can use them to find out the value of a function at a certain point when we can't figure this out from the function itself. How? With L'Hospital's rule!

A must watch Calculus series for all who are studying this subject. Clear presentation that includes organized content in a textbook format with intelligent, concise and step by step explanation of concepts and worked out examples. I enjoy learning from these videos. Thanks.
I love you, Professor Dave. I was teaching face-to-face classes with pencil-and-paper homework, just like back in the day, when suddenly, due to Covid-19, my classes are all online. I can make reasonably good math instructional videos, but not fast enough to keep up with four different courses in real time. I've been wandering KZread looking for good math videos to fit my learning objectives. This one is great. Thank you. --Professor Lisa.
Your channel is absolutely amazing! Thank you for helping students everywhere!
Learning calculus for free is so enjoyable. Thanks Prof Dave!
Great video. You taught the rule in a way that saved me from going to the Hospital, lol.
I m from India 🇮🇳🇮🇳watching your lecture your videos very simply explain me the topic thank you so much sir for your efforts 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thanks a lot for organizable, understandable and excellent explanation!!
thank you professor Dave i got these lecture after 4 years at the day you uploaded and helped me to understand l'hopital's rule thank you again
no words can describe how grateful I am prof ❤
Finally understood lopital rule after HOURS. Thank you professor!
Thanks Dave!
This rule is just so neat!
Thanks a lot for your wonderful explanation..Now I am confident with this concept. 🇮🇳
Thx for everything ♥️
this is absolutely awesome thanks man

thankyou so much bro!
Perfect teaching totally understood
Thanks
No one can teach as like u sir😁😀😂😀👍👌
Your all videos are so informative n easy to understand.n tomorrow is my exam 😅. Writing this bcz these videos helped me a lot.love from india❤️.
You're the great sir dave
Thank You! It was great!
Thank you Professor Dave, please may you talk about the origin and the statement of L'Hospital rule.
Thanks so mach Thi is an important Concept in Learning Limit❤
Thanks love from India!!
many many thanks
I love you professor, you always get me out of trouble, hope I meet you one day to thank you f2f
Thanks for the online lecture man! My teacher at school is so hopeless, she couldn't taught L'Hospital because there's no L'Hospital explanation on textbooks

Good. But is it logical to use L'Hopital's rule to find lim sin (x)/x, as we must know the limit before we differentiate sin(x)? There're so many similar examples.
So we can't use the rule for the infinity over (infinity - infinity) ? Or we have to make this form infinity over infinity and the solve by L'Hospital?
Thank 🥰
what about when x approache to zero for absolute value of x over x does the rule work?!
I don't understand the last exercise (ln x/x^2): When deriving once, I get (1/x)/2x. However, the 1/x then gets derived to - 1/x^2, and I don't see where the minus sign went in the answer? Altough I get that your answer must be right since the function is curving up and not down and so it makes sense that the second derivative is positive when x -> infinity. Can anyone explain?
Question regarding the limit of x(ln x) = 0, the graph of that function shows there is no limit from the left side, which is why you approached the limit from the right side, but I thought the rule of limits state that a limit can only exist if the limit exists from both sides? There is the limit of peace-wise functions but that still requires the limit of both functions to exist from both sides. I am just assuming there is some limit rule I am missing. Would you be so kind as to elaborate on this?
I am 10 years old and finish the whole calculus course smart ha

what if g(x)=1 for example and we apply this, we get f'(x)/0 if defined then it's infinity. just guessing not sure, HELP

Lim (x->inf, (x+cos(x))/x ) is indeterminate, but L'hopital's rule fails.
Hi. Have seen recently an MIT video which shows a failure in L ´Hospital rule. Lim for x tending to infinite from (x + cos x) / x Thanks I admire your videos
@NoActuallyGo-KCUF-Yourself
Жыл бұрын
Did you mean (x + sin x) / x? (x + cos x) / x does not apply, because it does not produce an indeterminate form. L'Hopital's rule didn't fail. The failure was attempting to use it when it doesn't apply.
For the question 1 at the end, why does limx->∞ 2x-9/6x+7 = limx->∞ 2/6 ? what happened to the -9 and +7 as I got to the part where i differentiate n wasnt sure what to do next. thank you for the great vid anyways

He took the derivative again derivative of 2x-9/6x+7 = 2/6
You can't use L'Hopital's rule prove that lim (sin(x)/x) as x-->0 = 1. That's a circular argument because in order to prove that the derivative of sin(x) is cos(x) you need to know what value is lim (sin(x)/x) as x-->0.

@@ProfessorDaveExplains I was trying to say that we can't do a formal demonstration of the derivative of sin(x) using l'Hopital's rule. I didn't mean you did it on this presentation. btw, nice video and training exercices
I thought this was going to show why L'Hopital's rule works (graphically? I don't know).
What I don't get is this: in the first example of sin x/x, the limit here is the definition of the derivative of sin x at x=0. Then in the same line he writes down cos x as the derivative of sin x which he's not supposed to know as that is exactly the thing he is calculating. Isn't he making justified assumptions?

0/infinity and infinity/0 will yield the limit to be 0 and infinity. An example of these function would be y=ln(x)/x and y=x/ln(x) as x goes to 0 from the right respectively. The limit would go to -infinity and 0.
Done.

There is no real life use, it's pure mathematics, but limits are the answer we get when we substitute the closest value to the variable, when we won't get a definete value when we substitute the exact variable.

The end music is trendy shit toilet music. Where can I find it
I have confusion: You said: 0*(infinity) = indeterminate (but 0*any number=0 [right?]) and again (infinity)^0 = indeterminate (but anything raised to zero equals 1, right?) and again 1^(infinity) = indeterminate (but one raised to any number equals 1, right?) So what do you mean by that. In other words what kind of expressions do you call INDETERMINATE?

No. Infinity is not a number, so rules of arithmetic do not apply.
