Question

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

Sum

Solution

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

= `lim_(x -> 0) ((1 + x/3)/(1 - x/3))^(1/x)   ...[("Divide numerator and"),("denominato by"  3)]`

= `lim_(x -> 0)((1 + x/3)^(1/x))/((1 - x/3)^(1/x)`

= `lim_(x -> 0) ((1 + x/3)^(3/x xx 1/3))/((1 - x/3)^((-3)/x xx 1/(-3))`

= `(lim_(x -> 0)[(1 + x/3)^(3/x)]^(1/3))/(lim_(x -> 0)[(1 - x/3)^((-3)/x)]^(-1/3)`

= `("e"^(1/3))/("e"(-1)/(3))      ...[(because x -> 0"," x/3 -> 0"," (-x)/3 -> 0 and),(lim_(x -> 0) (1 + x)^(1/x) = "e")]`

= `"e"^(1/3 + 1/3)`

= `"e"^(2/3)`
