The document defines and discusses indeterminate forms of functions. It provides examples of limits that have indeterminate forms, such as 0/0 and ∞/∞, and demonstrates how to evaluate them using L'Hopital's Rule. L'Hopital's Rule states that if the limit of a quotient of two functions results in an indeterminate form, the limit can be evaluated by taking the derivative of the numerator and denominator and re-evaluating the limit of the resulting quotient. The document provides multiple examples of applying L'Hopital's Rule to evaluate limits with indeterminate forms.
2. OBJECTIVES:
• define, determine, enumerate the
different indeterminate forms of
functions;
• apply the theorems on differentiation
in evaluating limits of indeterminate
forms of functions using L’Hopital’s
Rule.
