Question

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

Sum

Solution

`lim_(x -> 0)[("a"^x + "b"^x + "c"^x - 3)/x]`

= `lim_(x -> 0) (("a"^x - 1) + ("b"^x - 1) + ("c"^x - 1))/x`

= `lim_(x -> 0) (("a"^x - 1)/x + ("b"^x - 1)/x + ("c"^x - 1)/x)`

= `lim_(x -> 0)(("a"^x - 1)/x) + lim_(x -> 0)(("b"^x - 1)/x) + lim_(x -> 0)(("c"^x - 1)/x)`

= log a + log b + log c    ...`[lim_(x -> 0) ("a"^x - 1)/x = log "a"]`

= log (abc).
