In the previous blog post Limits and derivatives Part-4, we learned about the  trigonometric limits. Let us solve other problems related to Limits

Q1: Evaluate $\lim_{x\rightarrow 0} (\frac{e^{3x}- 1}{x})$

Answer: 

$\lim_{x\rightarrow 0} (\frac{e^{3x}- 1}{x})$

$\because x \rightarrow 0 \Rightarrow 3x \rightarrow 0$

= $\lim_{3x\rightarrow 0}\left [ (\frac{e^{3x}- 1}{3x})\times 3 \right ]$

Let y = 3x

= $3 \times \lim_{y\rightarrow 0} (\frac{e^y- 1}{y})$ 

= $3 \times 1$ 

= 3

Q2: Evaluate $\lim_{x\rightarrow \frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{\tan 2x}{x - \frac{\pi}{2}}$

Answer: 

$\lim_{x\rightarrow \frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{\tan 2x}{x - \frac{\pi}{2}}$

Put x = $\frac{\pi}{2} + h$, since $x\rightarrow \frac{\pi}{2}, h \rightarrow 0$

= $\lim_{h\rightarrow 0} \frac{\tan 2({\frac{\pi}{2}+h)}}{\frac{\pi}{2} + h - \frac{\pi}{2}}$

= $\lim_{h\rightarrow 0} \frac{\tan{(\pi + 2h)}}{h}$

= $\lim_{h\rightarrow 0} \frac{\tan{2h}}{h}$

= $\lim_{h\rightarrow 0} (\frac{\sin{2h}}{2h})\frac{2}{\cos 2h} = \frac{2}{1} = 2$

Q3: Let $f(x) = \begin{Bmatrix} x^2-1,&  x\leq 1 \\ -x^2-1 & x>1 \end{Bmatrix}$

Find $\lim_{x\rightarrow 1} f(x)$

Answer: We have

R.H.L.

$\lim_{x\rightarrow 1^+} f(x) = \lim_{h \rightarrow 0}f(1 + h)$ 

= $\lim_{h \rightarrow 0}\left \{ -(1+h)^2 -1 \right \}$

= $\lim_{h \rightarrow 0}\left \{ -2 -h^2 -2h \right \} = -2$

LHL

$\lim_{x\rightarrow 1^-} f(x) = \lim_{h \rightarrow 0}f(1 - h)$ 

= $\lim_{h \rightarrow 0}\left \{ -(1-h)^2 -1 \right \}$

= $\lim_{h \rightarrow 0}\left \{ 1+h^2 -2h -1 \right \}$

= $\lim_{h \rightarrow 0}\left \{h^2 -2h  \right \}$

= 0

$\therefore \lim_{x\rightarrow 1^+} f(x) \neq \lim_{x\rightarrow 1^-} f(x)$

Hence, $\lim_{x\rightarrow 1} f(x)$ does not exist. 

Q4: Fin 'n' if $\lim_{x\rightarrow 2} \frac{x^n - 2^n}{x - 2} = 80, n\epsilon N$

Answer: 

$\lim_{x\rightarrow 2} \frac{x^n - 2^n}{x - 2} = 80$

$\Rightarrow x(2)^{2n-1} = 5(2)^{5-1}$

On comparing we get n = 5

In the next post, we shall discuss about derivatives or differntiation.
