L'Hôpital's Rule

Theorem
Let $f$ and $g$ be real functions which are continuous on the closed interval $\left[{a \,.\,.\, b}\right]$ and differentiable on the open interval $\left({a \,.\,.\, b}\right)$.

Let:
 * $\forall x \in \left({a \,.\,.\, b}\right): g' \left({x}\right) \ne 0$

Let:
 * $f \left({a}\right) = g \left({a}\right) = 0$

Then:
 * $\displaystyle \lim_{x \to a^+} \frac {f \left({x}\right)} {g \left({x}\right)} = \lim_{x \to a^+} \frac {f' \left({x}\right)} {g' \left({x}\right)}$

provided that the second limit exists.

However, this result was in fact discovered by.

Because of variants in the rendition of his name, this proof is often seen written as L'Hospital's Rule.
