Understanding L'Hôpital's Rule

The video tutorial explains L'Hôpital's Rule, a method for evaluating limits involving indeterminate forms like 0/0. It covers the conditions under which the rule can be applied and provides four examples to illustrate its use. The first example shows how to apply the rule to sin(2x)/2x, while the second example explains why the rule doesn't apply to sin(x)/(π/6 - x). The third example demonstrates the rule's application to (1 - e^x)/sin(5x), and the fourth example applies it to cos(x)/(2x - π). The video emphasizes verifying conditions using the unit circle and basic trigonometric functions.
