Usage notes

[edit]

In mathematical terms,limxaf(x)g(x)=limxaf(x)g(x){\displaystyle \textstyle \lim _{x\to a}{\frac {f(x)}{g(x)}}=\lim _{x\to a}{\frac {f'(x)}{g'(x)}}}. The rule is applicable if the former limit turns out to be00{\displaystyle \textstyle {\frac {0}{0}}} or{\displaystyle \textstyle {\frac {\infty }{\infty }}} and requires that the latter limit exist (including thatg(x)0{\displaystyle \textstyle g'(x)\neq 0} for allxa{\displaystyle x\neq a} in some interval arounda{\displaystyle a}).
