5æ)!/z
Transcribed Image Text:Evaluate the limit. 1/1 lim (1 – 5.x) 5æ)!/z
Expert Solution
Step 1

Given ,  limx->0 (1-5x)1/x

Putting x = 0 ,

=>  = ( 1 - 5*0)1/0 = 1

As f(0) is in the form of  1 and in the form f(x)g(x) , Hence we will use 

=> limx->0 eg(x) { f(x) - 1 }  to solve the limit ,

Step 2

So, solution of given limit function ,

=> limx->0 e(1/x){(1-5x )- 1} = limx->0 e(1/x){-5x}

 

=> limx->0 e(-5) = e-5 =(1/e5)
