    \[\underset{x\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\,\frac{{{e}^{x}}-{{e}^{-x}}}{\sin x}\] is [Kurukshetra CEE 2002]

    A)                 0

    B)                 1

    C)                 2

    D)                 Non existent

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                       \[y=\underset{x\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{{{e}^{x}}-{{e}^{-x}}}{\sin x}\]            Þ \[y=\underset{x\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{\left[ 1+\frac{x}{1!}+\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{2!}+.... \right]-\left[ 1-\frac{x}{1!}+\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{2!}-.... \right]}{\sin x}\]            Þ \[y=\underset{x\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{2\,\left[ \frac{x}{1!}+\frac{{{x}^{3}}}{3!}+\frac{{{x}^{5}}}{5!}+............. \right]}{\sin x}\]            Þ \[y=\underset{x\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{2\,\left[ 1+\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{3!}+\frac{{{x}^{4}}}{4!}+........... \right]}{\frac{\sin x}{x}}\]            Þ \[y=\frac{\underset{x\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,2\,\left[ 1+\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{2!}+....... \right]}{\underset{x\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{\sin x}{x}}\] Þ \[y=\frac{2}{1}=2\]            Trick : Applying L-Hospital?s rule,                                 \[\underset{x\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{{{e}^{x}}-{{e}^{-x}}}{\sin x}\]\[=\underset{x\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{{{e}^{x}}+{{e}^{-x}}}{\cos x}=\frac{{{e}^{0}}+\frac{1}{{{e}^{0}}}}{\cos 0}=\frac{1+1}{1}=2\].
