3. (a) Why is L'Hospital's rule useful for finding the limits? Can it be used in every situation?
Please justify your answer?
(b) Evaluate each limit. Use L'Hospital's Rule where appropriate.
i. lim
x→4
x4.
-256
ii. lim
x-4
x²-3x
x 3 x-9
(c)Finding an interest rate: Suppose you invest J$ 150,000 in a special 5 year savings account with a
fixed annual rate r, with monthly compounding. The amount of money A in the account after 5years (60
months) is: A(r) = 150,000( 1 + r¹2). Your goal is to have $200,000 in the account after 5 years.
i. Use the Intermediate value theorem to show there is a value of r in (0,0.07) that is an interest rate
between 0% and 7% for which A(r) = 200,000.
ii. Use a graphing utility to illustrate your explanation in part (i) and then estimate the interest rate
required to reach your goal.
