Lopital's rule

We have indeterminateness of type

oo/oo,

i.e. limit for the numerator is

\lim_{x \to \infty} \log{\left(x \right)} = \infty

and limit for the denominator is

\lim_{x \to \infty} \sqrt{x} = \infty

Let's take derivatives of the numerator and denominator until we eliminate indeterninateness.

\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(\frac{\log{\left(x \right)}}{\sqrt{x}}\right)

\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(\frac{\frac{d}{d x} \log{\left(x \right)}}{\frac{d}{d x} \sqrt{x}}\right)

\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(\frac{2}{\sqrt{x}}\right)

\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(\frac{2}{\sqrt{x}}\right)

0

It can be seen that we have applied Lopital's rule (we have taken derivatives with respect to the numerator and denominator) 1 time(s)
