Value of a limit inside another limit

248 Views Asked by At

Suppose $L=\lim_{x\to0^+}f(x)=\lim_{x\to0^+}g(x)$, where $L$ is finite. Can I calculate $$\lim_{x\to0^+}\frac{L-f(x)}{L-g(x)}$$ without knowing either $f'(x)$ or $g'(x)$?

No we can't since we don't know the rate for $f(x)$ and $g(x)$ to tend at L (that is just the information we can have by derivatives).

Let for example

  • $f(x)=x+L$
  • $g(x)=x^2+L$

or

  • $f(x)=x^2+L$
  • $g(x)=x+L$
