A Gentle Introduction to Indeterminate Forms and L’Hospital’s Rule

Indeterminate forms are often encountered when evaluating limits of functions, and limits in turn play an important role in mathematics and calculus. They are essential for learning about derivatives, gradients, Hessians, and a lot more.

In this tutorial, you will discover how to evaluate the limits of indeterminate forms and the L’Hospital’s rule for solving them.

After completing this tutorial, you will know:

  • How to evaluate the limits of functions having indeterminate types of the form 0/0 and ∞/∞
  • L’Hospital’s rule for evaluating indeterminate types
  • How to convert more complex indeterminate types and apply L’Hospital’s rule to them

Let’s get started.
