If , find the value of n.

Given,


, we need to find value of n


So we will first find the limit and then equate it with 108 to get the value of n.


We need to find the limit for:


As limit can’t be find out simply by putting x = a because it is taking indeterminate form(0/0) form, so we need to have a different approach.


Let, Z =


Note: To solve the problems of limit similar to one in our question we use the formula mentioned below which can be derived using binomial theorem.


Formula to be used:


As Z matches exactly with the form as described above so we don’t need to do any manipulations–


Z =


Use the formula:


Z = n(3)n–1


According to question Z = 108


n(3)n–1 = 108


To solve such equations, factorize the number into prime factors and try to make combinations such that one satisfies with the equation.


n(3)n–1 = 4× 27 = 4× (3)4–1


Clearly on comparison we have –


n = 4
