I would comment that you don't know f is differentiable; but if it is differentiable, your last paragraph is cool.
There is no need to invoke L' Hopital's for the answer - that's just algebra.
I only used L' Hopital's Rule for the latter part ("for interest"), which is where the RHS would come into play. I should've stated that f(x) has to be differentiable around the neighbourhood of x = 1 for this to be valid.
