    If f and g are continuous on (a,b) and g is monotonic, l'Hôpital's rule applies to \(\lim f_+'(x)/g_+'(x)\) (right-hand derivatives) when the right-hand limits of f and g are both O. The same conclusion is valid if \(\lim | g(x)| =+\infty.\) If g is not monotonic, the rule may fail, even when \(\lim f(x)/g(x)\) exists.
