SUMMARY

The limit of the expression e^(5x)/ln(2x) as x approaches infinity results in an indeterminate form. To resolve this, one must apply L'Hôpital's Rule, which is essential for evaluating limits that yield forms such as ∞/∞ or 0/0. The correct application of this rule will lead to a definitive conclusion regarding the behavior of the function as x increases without bound.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of limits in calculus
  • Familiarity with L'Hôpital's Rule
  • Knowledge of exponential functions
  • Basic logarithmic properties
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the application of L'Hôpital's Rule in various limit problems
  • Explore the behavior of exponential functions as x approaches infinity
  • Learn about indeterminate forms and their resolutions
  • Practice solving limits involving logarithmic functions
USEFUL FOR

Students studying calculus, particularly those focusing on limits and indeterminate forms, as well as educators looking for examples to illustrate L'Hôpital's Rule.
