Question
Evaluate the following limits:
`lim_(x - oo){x[log(x + "a") - log(x)]}`
Advertisements
Solution
We Know `lim_(x -> 0) (log(1 +x))/x` = 1
`lim_(x - oo){x[log(x + "a") - log(x)]}`
= `lim_(x > oo) x*log((x + "a")/x)`
= `lim_(x -> oo) log(x/x + "a"/x)/(1/x)`
= `lim_(x -> oo) (log(1 + "a"/x))/(1/"a" xx "a"/x)`
= `"a" lim_(x -> oo) (log (1 + "a"/x))/("a"/x)` ......(1)
Put y = `"a"/x`
When x = `oo` then y = `"a"/oo` = 0
x → `oo`
⇒ y → 0
(1) ⇒ `lim_(x - oo){x[log(x + "a") - log(x)]}`
= `"a" lim_(y -> 0) (log(1 + y))/y`
= a × 1
= a
