Historically, this result first appeared in L'Hôpital's 1696 treatise,
which was the first textbook on differential calculus.
Within the book, L'Hôpital thanks the Bernoulli brothers
for their assistance and their discoveries.
An earlier letter by John Bernoulli gives both the rule and its proof,
so it seems likely that Bernoulli discovered the rule.
Definition: Indeterminate Limit/Form
If
𝑓(𝑐)
𝑔(𝑐)
𝑓(𝑥)
lim
exists, where lim 𝑓 𝑐 = lim 𝑔 𝑐 = 0 , the limit 𝑥→𝑐
𝑔(𝑥)
𝑥→𝑐
𝑥→𝑐
is said to be indeterminate.
The following expressions
are indeterminate forms:
These expressions are called indeterminate because you cannot determine
their exact value in the indeterminate form.
However, it is still possible to solve these in many cases due to L'Hôpital's rule.

and differentiable on the open interval (a, b) .

IV Indeterminate Form ∞ − ∞
A limit problem that leads to one of the expressions
+∞ − +∞ ,
−∞ − −∞ ,
+∞ + −∞ ,
−∞ + (+∞)
is called an indeterminate form of type ∞ − ∞
Such limits are indeterminate because the two terms exert conflicting
influences on the expression; one pushes it in the positive direction and the
other pushes it in the negative direction
Indeterminate forms of the type ∞ − ∞ can sometimes be evaluated by combining the
terms and manipulating the result to produce an indeterminate form of type
0
