The L’Hospital’s Rule\text{\underline {The L'Hospital's Rule}} is used when evaluating the limit that by substituting the limit value of a variable, goes to a form 00\frac {0} {0} or \frac {\infty } {\infty } (or some other, that can be reduced to these two). It says that if

limxaf(x)g(x)=L\lim\limits_{x \to a} \frac {f'(x) } {g'(x) } =L

then

limxaf(x)g(x)=L\lim\limits_{x \to a} \frac {f(x)} {g(x) } =L

To apply it, we differentiate the functions in the numerator and in the denominator and compute the limit limxaf(x)g(x)\lim\limits_{x \to a} \frac {f'(x) } {g'(x) }. If it exists and equals to LL, we conclude

limxaf(x)g(x)=L\lim\limits_{x \to a} \frac {f(x)} {g(x) } =L
