I'm assuming l'hospital's rule
can still use it tho
'subbing 'in' aint gonna work
youre gonna have 0 on the bottom
use lhopitals
you might have to explain what lhopitals is😭
$$\lim_{x \to a} \frac{f(x)}{g(x)} = \frac{0}{0} , \frac{\infty}{\infty}$$ \ then $$ \lim_{x \to a} \frac{f(x)}{g(x)} = \lim_{x \to a} \frac{f’(x)}{g’(x)}$$
Xotiic
Only if the limit is indeterminate
Basically u can differentiate the top and bottom of a fraction and they'll have the same limit
But this is further pure 1 for edexcel
this is lhopitals rule?
Not core pure
Yes
bc otherwise she wouldnt have given the question
What paper is this from?
Is it the old spec?
its just a problem sheet my maths teacher set
no idea*
I'm not fully sure but they could've removed l'hospital's rule from core pure when the spec changed
its defo not on the spec
Cuz I don't see any other way to do it
and so far weve only done limits in terms of improper integrals
which isnt this
and prooving the first derivative obviously
Core pure doesn't have anything on limits does it?
it does for improper integrals
Ehhh not really
and maybe differential equations
Yeah but those are generally obvious
oh well i can use l'hopitals but shell probs mark me down
I mean like non-trivial limits
I mean u'll get the correct answer
She shouldn’t
You will get full marks using any good method in the actual exam
And its the correct method
You just have to show what you’re doing is valid
Yep
yeah true
its strange though bc there is 100% a method using cp1 content that will work
otherwise she wouldnt have included the question
Can some1 send cp1 limit content
Oh that might be it
part a was expansion so that would make sense
Ah 😭😭😭
Ah and I see that the x^2 will cancel w the x^2 term from the ln(1+kx)
sorry probably shouldve mentioned that💀
And everything else will go to 0
Lolll
Oh that's actually really nice
so i sub in my expansion from a?
Much more elegant than l'hospital's
Yeh and use the expansion of ln(1+kx)
aswell
Isn’t this cp2 not cp1?
Yeh
Divide top and bottom of the fraction by x^3
