  • for the example at 2:15: why wouldn't you repeat l'hopital's rule 2 more times, in a similar fashion to the last example. this would give you (e^x)/6 or 1/6?????

  • @gensulitor L'Hopital can't be applied again because after doing it once, the result is no longer indeterminate. After doing it once, when you try to plug in 0, you get 1/0, which means the function has a vertical asymptote.

  • x^2-4 = (x-2)(x+2). Much easier than L' Hospital's rule. Plus you are calculating really quick. This is not helpful you know :/

  • @sPYrOs5050 I know the factoring way is easier.  It was just an example.

  • awesome.

    learnt more in 4 minutes than i did in a few clases with my dingbat of a teacher

  • Wow, thanx, for the past few days I've been staring at random conglomerations of integers and derivatives and limits.

    Somehow in 4 minutes everything came together in a very "A Ha" type moment. Thanx

see all

  • good vid

  • You're a great teacher! Thanks!

  • @sPYrOs5050 neither is your comment you know :/

  • these are all easy ones -_-

    one's form the homework involve limits of log functions which i'm not getting

    lim_x->0 (1/x)ln( (e^x-1) / x
