    1. Usually, applying known results, can simplify the computation. For instance, from sol211021 - 图2, we deduce that sol211021 - 图3Using the second limit equation, we can solve problem 378 as above.

    2. One can directly use the following results in the future too.
      sol211021 - 图4

    3. Sometimes, it is not hard to show that one should use L’Hôpital’s rule. For example, as in problem 383, 391 (by inverting x to 1/(1/x)). But then while applying L’Hôpital’s rule, one must take derivative for functions such as sol211021 - 图5 which is a little complicated. The trick is to set sol211021 - 图6 And as sol211021 - 图7, then sol211021 - 图8, and vice versa. Making this substitution first, then apply L’Hôpital’s rule.

    4. The limit sol211021 - 图9 in problem 386 has the form sol211021 - 图10, which is an indefinite form. We cannot “reduce to the common denominator” in this problem because there is no denominator. To evaluate this limit, we use the known result sol211021 - 图11, so that the original limit is equal to sol211021 - 图12
