  • question_answer
    Let \[f(x)=\underset{n\to \infty }{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{\log (2+x)-{{x}^{2n}}\sin x}{1+{{x}^{2n}}}\], then

    A) f is continuous at x=1

    B) \[\underset{x\to {{1}^{+}}}{\mathop{\lim }}\,f(x)=log3\]

    C) \[\underset{x\to {{1}^{+}}}{\mathop{\lim }}\,f(x)=-\sin 1\]

    D) \[\underset{x\to {{1}^{-}}}{\mathop{\lim }}\,f(x)\]does not exist

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] For \[\left| x \right|<1,{{x}^{2n}}\to 0\] as \[n\to \infty \] and for \[\left| x \right|>1,\,\,1/{{x}^{2n}}\to 0\] as \[n\to \infty ,\]So, \[f(x)=\left\{ \begin{matrix}    \log (2+x)\,  \\    \underset{\to \infty }{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{{{x}^{-2n}}\log (2+x)-sinx}{{{x}^{-2n}}+1}=-\sin x,  \\    \frac{1}{2}[log(2+x)-sinx],\,  \\ \end{matrix} \right.\,\,\,\begin{matrix}    \left| x \right|<1  \\    \left| x \right|>1  \\    \left| x \right|=1  \\ \end{matrix}\]Thus, \[\underset{x\to {{1}^{+}}}{\mathop{\lim }}\,f(x)=\underset{x\to 1}{\mathop{\lim }}\,(-\sin x)=-sin1\] and \[\underset{x\to {{1}^{-}}}{\mathop{\lim }}\,f(x)=\underset{x\to 1}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\,\,log(2+x)=\log 3.\]
