Visualized Solution (Hindi)
Identifying the Limit Form
- Evaluate: limx→0(1+x)21−12x−1
- Check for indeterminate form by substituting x=0:
- Numerator: 20−1=1−1=0
- Denominator: (1+0)21−1=1−1=0
- The expression is in the 00 form.
The Standard Formula
- Given formula: limx→0xax−1=lna
- In our case, a=2.
- We need to introduce x in the denominator of the numerator to use this formula.
Manipulating the Expression
- Divide numerator and denominator by x:
- limx→0x(1+x)21−1x2x−1
- This can be written as: limx→0(x2x−1)⋅limx→0(1+x−1x)
Evaluating the First Limit
- Using the formula limx→0xax−1=lna with a=2:
- limx→0x2x−1=ln2
Handling the Denominator
- Consider the second part: limx→01+x−1x
- Rationalize the denominator by multiplying with (1+x+1):
- (1+x−1)(1+x+1)x(1+x+1)
Simplifying the Fraction
- Denominator becomes: (1+x)2−(1)2=1+x−1=x
- The expression simplifies to: xx(1+x+1)
- Cancel x from numerator and denominator: 1+x+1
Evaluating the Second Limit
- Apply the limit x→0:
- limx→0(1+x+1)=1+0+1
- =1+1=2
The Final Result
- Combine the results of both parts:
- Total Limit =ln2⋅2
- Final Answer: 2ln2
