        The value of \[\underset{x\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{{{e}^{x}}+\log (1+x)-{{(1-x)}^{-2}}}{{{x}^{2}}}\]is equal to

    A)  0                                            

    B)  -3

    C)  \[-1\]                                   

    D)  infinity

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    \[\underset{x\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{{{e}^{x}}+\log (1+x)-{{(1-x)}^{-2}}}{{{x}^{2}}}\]          \[\left( \frac{0}{0}form \right)\] By LHospitas rule \[\underset{x\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{{{e}^{x}}+{{(1-x)}^{-1}}-2{{(1-x)}^{-3}}}{2x}\]              \[\left( \frac{0}{0}form \right)\] \[=\underset{x\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{{{e}^{x}}+{{(1-x)}^{-2}}-6{{(1-x)}^{-4}}}{2}\] (by L Hospitals rule) \[=\frac{{{e}^{0}}-1-6}{2}=\frac{1-1-6}{2}=-3\] Alternative Method \[\underset{x\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{{{e}^{x}}+\log (1+x)-{{(1-x)}^{-2}}}{{{x}^{2}}}\] \[=\underset{x\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{\left[ \begin{align}   & \left[ 1+x+\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{2!}+\frac{{{x}^{3}}}{3!}+.... \right] \\  & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,+\left[ x-\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{2}+\frac{{{x}^{3}}}{3}-\frac{{{x}^{4}}}{4}+.... \right] \\  & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,-[1+2x+3{{x}^{2}}+.....] \\ \end{align} \right]}{{{x}^{2}}}\] \[=\underset{x\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{\left[ -3{{x}^{2}}+-\frac{7}{2}{{(x)}^{3}} \right]}{{{x}^{2}}}\] \[=\underset{x\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,[-3+higher\text{ }powers\text{ }of\,x]\] \[=-3+0=-3\]
