Question
We determined that l'Hospital's rule applies to the limit 
lim x→5  
x2 − 10x + 25
x2 − 5x
.
 Recall that when l'Hospital's rule applies, it states that 
lim x→a  
f(x)
g(x)
 = lim x→a  
f '(x)
g'(x)
.
Consequently, the next step is to take the derivative of the numerator and the denominator separately.

dx
(x2 − 10x + 25)
