L'Hôpital's rule asserts that
Explanation:
Because the expression evaluated at the limit is an indeterminate form, specifically
Compute the derivative of the denominator
Compute the derivative of the numerator:
Assemble a new expression with these:
Perform the division by 1:
Evaluate at the limit
The rule asserts that the limit of the original expression is the same:
