Question

Evaluate the following:

`lim_(x ->0)[((25)^x - 2(5)^x + 1)/x^2]`

Sum

Solution

`lim_(x ->0)[((25)^x - 2(5)^x + 1)/x^2]`

= `lim_(x -> 0)[((5)^(2x) - 2(5)^x + 1)/x^2]`

= `lim_(x -> 0)[((5^x)^(2) - 2(5)^x + 1)/x^2]`

= `lim_(x -> 0) [(5^x - 1)^2/x^2]` 

= `lim_(x -> 0) ((5^x - 1)/x)^2`

= `log5^2   ...[lim_(x -> 0) ("a"^x - 1)/x = log"a"]`
