Evaluate the following limits:

As we need to find


We can directly find the limiting value of a function by putting the value of the variable at which the limiting value is asked if it does not take any indeterminate form (0/0 or ∞/∞ or ∞-∞, .. etc.)


Let


we need to take steps to remove this form so that we can get a finite value.


TIP: Most of the problems of logarithmic and exponential limits are solved using the formula and


This question is a direct application of limits formula of exponential and logarithmic limits.


Use the formula: and


As Z =


To get the above forms, we need to divide numerator and denominator by x.


Z {using basic limit algebra}


Z {using the formulae described above}


Hence,
