I need to prove this version of L'Hopitals theorem.

If limf(x)=limg(x)=infinity (as x goes to infinity) then lim[f(x)/g(x)]=lim[f'(x)/g'(x)] (as x goes to infinity)

Any help please?

Thank you

Have you tried applying L'Hopital's rule to (1/g(x))/(1/f(x))?
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
