L'Hôpital's rule
rule that uses derivatives to help evaluate limits involving indeterminate forms
L'Hôpital's rule is a mathematical rule that can calculate limits of an indeterminate form using derivatives. When the rule is used (it can be used multiple times), it turns an indeterminate form into a value that can be solved.
L'Hôpital's rule states that for functions and which are continuous over an interval, if and and exists, then
When the rule is used, it usually simplifies the limit or changes it to a limit that can be solved.
