f(x) = [(1 + sin(x))^(1/ sin(x) ? (1 + x)^(1/x)] and g(x) = (ln(1 + x))^3 Now, I need the the "LIMIT as X approaches 0" for each "situation": [f(x)/g(x)], [f'(x)/g('x)], [f''(x)/g''(x)], [f'''(x)/g'''(x)], [f''''(x)/g''''(x)], Explain why the results do not violate L?Hopital?s Rule. |

Ha-ha-ha! Why, he should have included [f'''''(x)/g'''''(x)]? Or, he should have offered $2.50 for all of those? ----------- The f'(x) alone would take me two days---if I could get it. d/dx [u^v] = v*[u^(v-1)]*du/dx +(u^v)*[ln(u)]*dv/du |

d/dx [u^v] = ..........+(u^v)[ln(u)]* dv/dx Not dv/du. Sorry. |

The problem should not be attempted manually - but with the help of a Computing System - I am using Mathematica 5.1 - but I just wanted a confirmation of the answers I got. The third derivative gives a solid "e/12Log" - but the fourth derivative gets a division by zero error. I was hoping someone was proficient with Mathematica or some other program. |

I'm willing to run this through the subset of Maple that's built into MathCAD, but there is a right parenthesis missing in the equation for f(x). If I assume you meant: f(x) = (1 + sin(x))^(1/ sin(x)) ? (1 + x)^(1/x) then in the limit of x -> 0 f(x)/g(x) = f'(x)/g'(x) = f''(x)/g''(x) = f'''(x)/g'''(x) = exp(1)/12 and f''''(x)/g''''(x) = 11*exp(1)/108 In case anyone's curious, f'''''(x)/g'''''(x) = 103*exp(1)/840 ;-) Looks like l'Hopital's rule is works just fine here. Remember, the rule only applies when lims x-> 0 of f(x) and g(x) (or their derivatives) are both equal to zero or +/-infinity. This only holds up to f''(x) and g''(x). The lim x->0 of f'''(x) is exp(1)/2 while the lim x-> 0 g'''(x) is 6. |
