Indeterminate form is a mathematical expression that can obtain any value depending on circumstances. In calculus , it is usually possible to compute the limit of the sum, difference, product, quotient or power of two functions by taking the corresponding combination of the separate limits of each respective function. For example,

410-434: Is insufficient to determinate the limit An expression that arises by ways other than applying the algebraic limit theorem may have the same form of an indeterminate form. However it is not appropriate to call an expression "indeterminate form" if the expression is made outside the context of determining limits. An example is the expression 0 0 {\displaystyle 0^{0}} . Whether this expression

451-447: Is left undefined, or is defined to equal 1 {\displaystyle 1} , depends on the field of application and may vary between authors. For more, see the article Zero to the power of zero . Note that 0 ∞ {\displaystyle 0^{\infty }} and other expressions involving infinity are not indeterminate forms . The indeterminate form 0 / 0 {\displaystyle 0/0}

492-675: Is not an indeterminate form. The expression 0 + ∞ {\displaystyle 0^{+\infty }} obtained from considering lim x → c f ( x ) g ( x ) {\displaystyle \lim _{x\to c}f(x)^{g(x)}} gives the limit 0 , {\displaystyle 0,} provided that f ( x ) {\displaystyle f(x)} remains nonnegative as x {\displaystyle x} approaches c {\displaystyle c} . The expression 0 − ∞ {\displaystyle 0^{-\infty }}

533-582: Is not commonly regarded as an indeterminate form, because if the limit of f / g {\displaystyle f/g} exists then there is no ambiguity as to its value, as it always diverges. Specifically, if f {\displaystyle f} approaches 1 {\displaystyle 1} and g {\displaystyle g} approaches 0 , {\displaystyle 0,} then f {\displaystyle f} and g {\displaystyle g} may be chosen so that: In each case

574-417: Is not sufficient to evaluate the limit lim x → c f ( x ) g ( x ) . {\displaystyle \lim _{x\to c}f(x)^{g(x)}.} If the functions f {\displaystyle f} and g {\displaystyle g} are analytic at c {\displaystyle c} , and f {\displaystyle f}

615-518: Is particularly common in calculus , because it often arises in the evaluation of derivatives using their definition in terms of limit. As mentioned above, while This is enough to show that 0 / 0 {\displaystyle 0/0} is an indeterminate form. Other examples with this indeterminate form include and Direct substitution of the number that x {\displaystyle x} approaches into any of these expressions shows that these are examples correspond to

656-468: Is positive for x {\displaystyle x} sufficiently close (but not equal) to c {\displaystyle c} , then the limit of f ( x ) g ( x ) {\displaystyle f(x)^{g(x)}} will be 1 {\displaystyle 1} . Otherwise, use the transformation in the table below to evaluate the limit. The expression 1 / 0 {\displaystyle 1/0}

697-872: Is similarly equivalent to 1 / 0 {\displaystyle 1/0} ; if f ( x ) > 0 {\displaystyle f(x)>0} as x {\displaystyle x} approaches c {\displaystyle c} , the limit comes out as + ∞ {\displaystyle +\infty } . To see why, let L = lim x → c f ( x ) g ( x ) , {\displaystyle L=\lim _{x\to c}f(x)^{g(x)},} where lim x → c f ( x ) = 0 , {\displaystyle \lim _{x\to c}{f(x)}=0,} and lim x → c g ( x ) = ∞ . {\displaystyle \lim _{x\to c}{g(x)}=\infty .} By taking

738-851: Is sometimes called the algebraic limit theorem . However, certain combinations of particular limiting values cannot be computed in this way, and knowing the limit of each function separately does not suffice to determine the limit of the combination. In these particular situations, the limit is said to take an indeterminate form , described by one of the informal expressions 0 0 ,   ∞ ∞ ,   0 × ∞ ,   ∞ − ∞ ,   0 0 ,   1 ∞ ,  or  ∞ 0 , {\displaystyle {\frac {0}{0}},~{\frac {\infty }{\infty }},~0\times \infty ,~\infty -\infty ,~0^{0},~1^{\infty },{\text{ or }}\infty ^{0},} among

779-723: Is the quotient of two functions each of which converges to zero. This indeterminate form is denoted by 0 / 0 {\displaystyle 0/0} . For example, as x {\displaystyle x} approaches 0 , {\displaystyle 0,} the ratios x / x 3 {\displaystyle x/x^{3}} , x / x {\displaystyle x/x} , and x 2 / x {\displaystyle x^{2}/x} go to ∞ {\displaystyle \infty } , 1 {\displaystyle 1} , and 0 {\displaystyle 0} respectively. In each case, if

820-646: Is used in the 4th equality, and 1 − cos ⁡ x ∼ x 2 2 {\displaystyle 1-\cos x\sim {x^{2} \over 2}} is used in the 5th equality. L'Hôpital's rule is a general method for evaluating the indeterminate forms 0 / 0 {\displaystyle 0/0} and ∞ / ∞ {\displaystyle \infty /\infty } . This rule states that (under appropriate conditions) where f ′ {\displaystyle f'} and g ′ {\displaystyle g'} are

861-465: The derivatives of f {\displaystyle f} and g {\displaystyle g} . (Note that this rule does not apply to expressions ∞ / 0 {\displaystyle \infty /0} , 1 / 0 {\displaystyle 1/0} , and so on, as these expressions are not indeterminate forms.) These derivatives will allow one to perform algebraic simplification and eventually evaluate

984-603: The natural logarithm (ln) is a continuous function ; it is irrelevant how well-behaved f {\displaystyle f} and g {\displaystyle g} may (or may not) be as long as f {\displaystyle f} is asymptotically positive. (the domain of logarithms is the set of all positive real numbers.)

Similarly, any expression of

1107-1874: The evaluation of the indeterminate form 0 / 0 {\displaystyle 0/0} , one can make use of the following facts about equivalent infinitesimals (e.g., x ∼ sin ⁡ x {\displaystyle x\sim \sin x} if x becomes closer to zero): For example: lim x → 0 1 x 3 [ ( 2 + cos ⁡ x 3 ) x − 1 ] = lim x → 0 e x ln ⁡ 2 + cos ⁡ x 3 − 1 x 3 = lim x → 0 1 x 2 ln ⁡ 2 + cos ⁡ x 3 = lim x → 0 1 x 2 ln ⁡ ( cos ⁡ x − 1 3 + 1 ) = lim x → 0 cos ⁡ x − 1 3 x 2 = lim x → 0 − x 2 6 x 2 = − 1 6 {\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}\lim _{x\to 0}{\frac {1}{x^{3}}}\left[\left({\frac {2+\cos x}{3}}\right)^{x}-1\right]&=\lim _{x\to 0}{\frac {e^{x\ln {\frac {2+\cos x}{3}}}-1}{x^{3}}}\\&=\lim _{x\to 0}{\frac {1}{x^{2}}}\ln {\frac {2+\cos x}{3}}\\&=\lim _{x\to 0}{\frac {1}{x^{2}}}\ln \left({\frac {\cos x-1}{3}}+1\right)\\&=\lim _{x\to 0}{\frac {\cos x-1}{3x^{2}}}\\&=\lim _{x\to 0}-{\frac {x^{2}}{6x^{2}}}\\&=-{\frac {1}{6}}\end{aligned}}} In

1148-771: The expression 0 0 {\displaystyle 0^{0}} is an indeterminate form: lim x → 0 + x 0 = 1 , lim x → 0 + 0 x = 0. {\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}\lim _{x\to 0^{+}}x^{0}&=1,\\\lim _{x\to 0^{+}}0^{x}&=0.\end{aligned}}} Thus, in general, knowing that lim x → c f ( x ) = 0 {\displaystyle \textstyle \lim _{x\to c}f(x)\;=\;0} and lim x → c g ( x ) = 0 {\displaystyle \textstyle \lim _{x\to c}g(x)\;=\;0}

1189-513: The form a / 0 {\displaystyle a/0} with a ≠ 0 {\displaystyle a\neq 0} (including a = + ∞ {\displaystyle a=+\infty } and a = − ∞ {\displaystyle a=-\infty } ) is not an indeterminate form, since a quotient giving rise to such an expression will always diverge.

1312-430: The indeterminate form 0 / 0 {\displaystyle 0/0} , but these limits can assume many different values. Any desired value a {\displaystyle a} can be obtained for this indeterminate form as follows: The value ∞ {\displaystyle \infty } can also be obtained (in the sense of divergence to infinity): The following limits illustrate that

1353-1133: The limit does not exist, as many of the examples above show. In many cases, algebraic elimination, L'Hôpital's rule , or other methods can be used to manipulate the expression so that the limit can be evaluated. When two variables α {\displaystyle \alpha } and β {\displaystyle \beta } converge to zero at the same limit point and lim β α = 1 {\displaystyle \textstyle \lim {\frac {\beta }{\alpha }}=1} , they are called equivalent infinitesimal (equiv. α ∼ β {\displaystyle \alpha \sim \beta } ). Moreover, if variables α ′ {\displaystyle \alpha '} and β ′ {\displaystyle \beta '} are such that α ∼ α ′ {\displaystyle \alpha \sim \alpha '} and β ∼ β ′ {\displaystyle \beta \sim \beta '} , then: Here

1394-418: The limit. L'Hôpital's rule can also be applied to other indeterminate forms, using first an appropriate algebraic transformation. For example, to evaluate the form 0 : The right-hand side is of the form ∞ / ∞ {\displaystyle \infty /\infty } , so L'Hôpital's rule applies to it. Note that this equation is valid (as long as the right-hand side is defined) because

1435-479: The limits of the numerator and denominator are substituted, the resulting expression is 0 / 0 {\displaystyle 0/0} , which is indeterminate. In this sense, 0 / 0 {\displaystyle 0/0} can take on the values 0 {\displaystyle 0} , 1 {\displaystyle 1} , or ∞ {\displaystyle \infty } , by appropriate choices of functions to put in

1476-816: The natural logarithm of both sides and using lim x → c ln ⁡ f ( x ) = − ∞ , {\displaystyle \lim _{x\to c}\ln {f(x)}=-\infty ,} we get that ln ⁡ L = lim x → c ( g ( x ) × ln ⁡ f ( x ) ) = ∞ × − ∞ = − ∞ , {\displaystyle \ln L=\lim _{x\to c}({g(x)}\times \ln {f(x)})=\infty \times {-\infty }=-\infty ,} which means that L = e − ∞ = 0. {\displaystyle L={e}^{-\infty }=0.} The adjective indeterminate does not imply that

1517-720: The numerator and denominator. A pair of functions for which the limit is any particular given value may in fact be found. Even more surprising, perhaps, the quotient of the two functions may in fact diverge, and not merely diverge to infinity. For example, x sin ⁡ ( 1 / x ) / x {\displaystyle x\sin(1/x)/x} . So the fact that two functions f ( x ) {\displaystyle f(x)} and g ( x ) {\displaystyle g(x)} converge to 0 {\displaystyle 0} as x {\displaystyle x} approaches some limit point c {\displaystyle c}

1558-402: The other in a particular case (because of the possibility of algebraic simplification afterwards). One can change between these forms by transforming f / g {\displaystyle f/g} to ( 1 / g ) / ( 1 / f ) {\displaystyle (1/g)/(1/f)} . The following table lists the most common indeterminate forms and

1599-438: The specific functions involved. A limit which unambiguously tends to infinity, for instance lim x → 0 1 / x 2 = ∞ , {\textstyle \lim _{x\to 0}1/x^{2}=\infty ,} is not considered indeterminate. The term was originally introduced by Cauchy 's student Moigno in the middle of the 19th century. The most common example of an indeterminate form
