Exponential Limits

Exponential Limits

In order to solve the limit of the function involving exponential function, we use the following standard results

\\\text{(i)}\;\;\;\mathbf{\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{a^{x}-1}{x}=\log _{e} a}

Proof:

\\ \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{a^{x}-1}{x}=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\left(1+\frac{x(\log a)}{1 !}+\frac{x^{2}(\log a)^{2}}{2 !}+\cdots\right)-1}{x} \\\\\text{[using Taylor series expansion of }a^x]\\\\\text{}\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0}\left(\frac{\log a}{1 !}+\frac{x(\log a)^{2}}{2 !}+\cdots\right)\\\\\text{}\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;=\log_ea

 \\\text{(ii)}\;\;\;\mathbf{\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{e^{x}-1}{x}=1}

 

In General, if \lim_{x\rightarrow a}f(x)=0 , then we have  

\\\text{(a)}\;\;\;\lim _{x \rightarrow a} \frac{a^{f(x)}-1}{f(x)}=\log_ea\\\\\text{(b)}\;\;\;\lim _{x \rightarrow a} \frac{e^{f(x)}-1}{f(x)}=\log_ee=1

Logarithmic  Limits

Logarithmic  Limits

To evaluate the Logarithmic limit we use the following results:

      \\\mathbf{\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\log_e (1+x)}{x}=1}

Proof:

\\\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\log_e (1+x)}{x}=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{x-\frac{x^{2}}{2}+\frac{x^{3}}{3}-\cdots}{x}\\\\\text{[using Taylor series expansion of }\log_e(1+x)]\\\\\text{}\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0}\left(1-\frac{x}{2}+\frac{x^{2}}{3}-\cdots\right)\\\\\text{}\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;=1


In General, if \lim_{x\rightarrow a}f(x)=0 , then we have \lim _{x \rightarrow a} \frac{\log_e (1+f(x))}{f(x)}=1
