Sum

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
