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 Z
∴ 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.
To get similar forms as in a formula, we move as follows-
As x→2 ∴ x-2 →0
Let x-2 = y
∴ Z =
We can’t use the formula directly as the base of log is we need to change this to e.
Applying the formula for change of base-
We have-
∴ Z =
Use the formula:
∴ Z =
Hence,
