Homework Statement
Use the Le'Hopitals rule to prove the following. Let F be differentiable on (0, infinity) and a> 0. If
\lim_{x-> \infty} (af(x)+2x^{1/2}f'(x)) =L then lim_{x-> \infty}f(x)= \frac{L}{a}
The Attempt at a Solution
It seems to me that what I need to prove is that
lim _{x-> \infty} 2x^{1/2}f'(x)) =0 I'm pretty lost as to how to go about it,
I've tried to define a function g(x) = \frac{f(x)}{sqrt(x)} but that didn't help.
My problem are that:
1. I don't know if f' is differentiable or not.
2. if f converges to L/a then it doesn't satisfy the requirments of the Le'Hopital rule.
3. I'm inclined to say that if a function converges then it's derivative converges to 0. This seems intuitive but I'm not sure how to prove it.
Thanks for the help
