Question

Evaluate the following limits: `lim_(u -> 1)[(u^4 - 1)/(u^3 - 1)]`

Sum

Solution

`lim_(u -> 1)[(u^4 - 1)/(u^3 - 1)]`

= `lim_(u -> 1)([(u^4 - 1^4)/(u - 1)])/([(u^3 - 1^3)/(u - 1)])        ...[(because u  ->1";"  u ≠ 1),(therefore u - 1 ≠ 0)]`

= `(4(1)^2)/(3(1)^2)     ...[because  lim_(x -> "a") (x^"n" - "a"^"n")/(z - "a") = "na"^("n" - 1)]`

= `4/3`
