Lesson 1

Indeterminate Forms

OBJECTIVES:

• to define, determine, enumerate the

different indeterminate forms of

functions;

• to apply the theorems on differentiation

in evaluating limits of indeterminate

forms of functions using L’Hopital’s Rule.

.

To evaluatethe said limit Theorems on L' Hopital' s Ruleis will be used.

Obviously,the principle applied inthe previous problems canno
