Question

Evaluate the following Limits: `lim_(x -> 0)[("a"^(3x) - "a"^(2x) - "a"^x  + 1)/x^2]`

Sum

Solution

`lim_(x -> 0)("a"^(3x) - "a"^(2x) - "a"^x  + 1)/x^2`

= `lim_(x -> 0) ("a"^(2x)*"a"^x - "a"^(2x) - "a"^x + 1)/x^2`

= `lim_(x -> 0)("a"^(2x)("a"^x - 1) - 1("a"^x - 1))/x^2`

= `lim_(x -> 0) (("a"^x - 1)*("a"^(2x) - 1))/x^2`

= `lim_(x -> 0) (("a"^x - 1)/x xx("a"^(2x) - 1)/x)`

= `lim_(x -> 0)(("a"^x - 1)/x) xx lim_(x -> 0) (("a"^(2x) - 1)/(2x)) xx 2`

= `log"a"*(2log"a")     ...[("As"  x -> 0","  2x -> 0 and),(lim_(x -> 0) ("a"^x - 1)/x = log "a")]`

= 2(log a)2
