De l'Hospital rule applies to undetermined forms like

\dfrac{0}{0},\quad\dfrac{\infty}{\infty}

If we evaluate your limit directly, we have

\displaystyle \lim_{x\to 0}(1+2x)^{-\frac{3}{x}} = 1^\infty

which is neither of the two forms covered by the theorem.

So, in order to apply it, we need to write the limit as follows: we start with

f(x)=(1+2x)^{-\frac{3}{x}}

Using the identity e^{\log(x)}=x, we can rewrite the function as

f(x)=e^{\log\left((1+2x)^{-\frac{3}{x}}\right)}

Using the rule \log(a^b)=b\log(a), we have

f(x)=e^{-\frac{3}{x}\log(1+2x)}

Since the exponential function e^x is continuous, we have

\displaystyle \lim_{x\to 0} e^{f(x)} = e^{\lim_{x\to 0} f(x)}

In other words, we can focus on the exponent alone to solve the limit. So, we're focusing on

\displaystyle \lim_{x\to 0} -\frac{3}{x}\log(1+2x)

Which we can rewrite as

\displaystyle \lim_{x\to 0} -\frac{3}{x}\log(1+2x) = -3\lim_{x\to 0}\frac{\log(1+2x)}{x}

Now the limit comes in the form 0/0, so we can apply the theorem: we derive both numerator and denominator to get

\displaystyle -3\lim_{x\to 0}\frac{\log(1+2x)}{x} = -3 \lim_{x\to 0}\dfrac{\frac{2}{1+2x}}{1} = -3\cdot 2 = -6

So, the limit of the exponent is -6, which implies that the whole expression tends to

e^{-6}=\dfrac{1}{e^6}

I need help for Part A and B
Tamiku [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

A

The probability of wining is 1/4 so it's 25%. so if you win you either win one of 2 object, so we have to divide the chance of wining by the number of object, so (25%)/2

A it's ,12.5% chance of wining the mug

B yes, it will change if she pics the mug first, it will be 25% because it's guaranteed that she will get the mug if she wins
