Hi student

This is of the type \lim_{x\rightarrow 0} f(x)g(x) which is of form 1\infty such that f(x)\rightarrow1 and g(x)\rightarrow\infty

Solution of such form is give by e\lim_{x\rightarrow 0} g(x)(f(x)-1)

When you will subsitute appropriate values of f(x) and g(x) you can get the answer.

Is it necessary to subtract 1 from f(x) in the form e\lim_{x\rightarrow 0}g(x)(f(x)-1)  ?

Hi Student,

Basically subtraction of 1 comes from the derivation. So it must be done.
If you want to know the derivation please reply on this thread otherwise its not necessary. You can remember the form the apply this directly.

Yes, why not? I definitely want to know the derivation.

let y = f(x)g(x)
Taking log on both sides
log y= g(x) log(f(x))
Taking antilog on both sides
y = eg(x) logf(x)

Consider log f(x)= log ( 1 + (f(x)-1))
Expansion of log ( 1 + x)= x – x2/2 + x3/3 . . . .
log ( 1+ (f(x)-1)) = (f(x) – 1) – (f(x)-1)2/2 . . . . . .
since f(x) is tending to f(x) – 1 will be very small so higher are neglected
this means log ( 1+ (f(x)-1) = f(x) – 1 if f(x) tends to 1
The above expression becomes
y= eg(x) ( f(x) -1)
