Match the following lists:

Answer»


Solution : a. Hence, `agt0`. Therfore.
`UNDERSET(xtooo)lim("("sqrt("("x^(2)-x+1")")-ax-b")""("sqrt(x^(2)-x+1")")+ax+b")")/("("sqrt("("x^(2)-x+1")")+ax+b")")`
`=0`
or `underset(xtooo)lim((x^(2)-x+1)-(ax+b)^(2))/(sqrt((x^(2)-x+1))+ax+b)=0`
or `underset(xtooo)lim((1-a^(2))x^(2)-(1+2ab)x+(1-b^(2)))/(sqrt((x^(2)-x+1))+ax+b)=0`
or `underset(xtooo)lim((1-a^(2))x-(1+2ab)+((1-b^(2)))/(x))/(sqrt(1-(1)/(x)+(1)/(x^(2))+a+(b)/(x)))=0`
This is POSSIBLE only when
`1-a^(2)=0" and "1+2ab=0`
`:.""a=+-1`
or `a=1""(becauseagt0)""(1)`
`:.""b=-1//2`
`:.""(a,2b)-=(1,-1)`
b. Divide numerator and denominator by `e^(1//x)`. Then,
`underset(xtooo)lim((1+a^(3))e^(-(1)/(x))+8)/(e^(-(1)/(x))+(1-b^(3)))=2`
or `(0+8)/(0+1-b^(3))=2`
or `""1-b^(3)=4`
`:.""b^(3)=-3" or "b=-3^(1//3)`
Then, `ainR.` Therefore,
`(a,b^(3))-=(a,-3)`
c. `underset(xtooo)lim"("sqrt("("x^(4)-x^(2)+1)")"-ax^(2)-b")"=0`
Put `s=(1)/(t)`.Then
`underset(t TO0)lim(sqrt(((1)/(t^(4))-(1)/(t^(2))+1))-(a)/(t^(2))-b)=0`
or `underset(t to0)lim(sqrt((1-t^(2)+t^(4)))-a-bt^(2))/(t^(2))=0""(1)`
Since R.H.S. is finite, numerator must be equal to 0 at `t to0.`
Therefore,`1-a=0" or "a=1.`
From equation (1),
`underset(t to0)lim(sqrt((1-t^(2)+t^(4)))-1-bt^(2))/(t^(2))=0`
`underset(t to0)lim(-1+t^(2))(((1-t^(2)+t^(4))^(1//2)-(1)^(1//2))/((1-t^(2)+t^(4))-1))=b`
or `(-1)((1)/(2))=b" or "a=1,b=-(1)/(2)" or "(a,-4b)-=(1,2)`
d. `underset(xto-a)lim(x^(7)-(-a)^(7))/(x-(-a))=7" or "7a^(6)=7" or "a^(6)=1" or "a=-1`
14.

Match the following lists:

Answer»


Solution : a. `LET" x"+1=H`. Then,
`underset(xto-1)lim(root(3)((7-x))-2)/((x+1))=underset(hto0)lim((8-h)^(1//3)-2)/(h)`
`=underset(hto0)lim(2(1-(h)/(8))^(1//3)-2)/(h)`
`=2underset(hto0)lim((1-(1)/(3)(h)/(8))-1)/(h)`
`=-(1)/(12)`
b. We have
`underset(xto pi//4)lim(tan^(3)x-TANX)/(cos(x+pi//4))`
`=underset(xto pi//4)lim(tanx(tanx-1)(tanx+1))/(cos(x+pi//4))`
`=underset(xto pi//4)lim(tanx(sinx-cosx)(tanx+1))/(cosxcos(x+pi//4))`
`=-underset(xto pi//4)lim(tanx(cosx-sinx)(tanx+1))/(cosxcos(x+pi//4))`
`=-sqrt(2)underset(xto pi//4)lim(tanx((1)/(sqrt(2))cosx-(1)/(sqrt(2))sinx)(tanx+1))/(cosxcos(x+pi//4))`
`=-sqrt(2)underset(xto pi//4)lim(tanx(tanx+1))/(cosx)`
`=-sqrt(2)xx2xxsqrt(2)=-4`
`underset(xto1)lim((2x-3)(sqrt(x-1)))/(2x^(2)+x-3)=underset(xto1)lim((2x-3)(sqrt(x)-1))/((2x+3)(x-1))`
`=underset(xto1)lim((2x-3)(sqrt(x)-1))/((2x+3)(sqrt(x)-1)(sqrt(x)+1))`
`=underset(xto1)lim((2x-3))/((2x+3)(sqrt(x)+1))`
`=(2-3)/((2+3)(sqrt(1)+1))=-1//10`
d. `underset(xtooo)lim(LOGX^(n)-[x])/([x])=underset(xtooo)lim(logx^(n))/([x])-underset(xtooo)lim([x])/([x])`
`=0-1=-1`
15.

Match the following lists:

Answer»


Solution : We know that `underset(xto0)lim(sinx)/(x)=1` (but a VALUE is smaller than 1)
or `[underset(xto0)lim100(sinx)/(x)]=99`
and `[underset(xto0)lim100(x)/(sinx)]=100`
ALSO, `underset(xto0)lim(sin^(-1)x)/(x)=1""`(but a value is more than 1)
or `[underset(xto0)lim100(sin^(-1)x)/(x)]=100`
and `[underset(xto0)lim100(x)/(sin^(-1)x)]=99`
`underset(xto0)lim(tanx)/(x)=1""`(but a value is bigger than 1)
or `[underset(xto0)lim100(tanx)/(x)]=100`
and `[underset(xto0)lim100(tan^(-1)x)/(x)]=99`
Hence,
a. `underset(xto0)lim([100(sinx)/(x)]+[100(tanx)/(x)])=199`
b. `underset(xto0)lim([100(x)/(sinx)]+[100(tanx)/(x)])=200`
c. `underset(xto0)lim([100(sin^(-1)x)/(x)]+[100(tan^(-1)x)/(x)])=199`
d. `underset(xto0)lim([100(x)/(sin^(-1)x)]+[100(tan^(-1)x)/(x)])=198`
