[(e^x)-(1)-(x)]/ (x^2) as lim x --> 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Again apply L' Hospital's Rule to get 1/2 as the limit.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how? =(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

expand e^x and see it fall all in place ans is 1/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cant get the answer but i believe you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how exactly did u expand e to x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The given limit is in its indeterminate form thus we differentiate the numerator and denominator to get 1/2[(e^x - 1)/x] now the limit of [e^x - 1/]x is nothing but 1.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

e^x is expanded by using the Taylor Series.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That is euler series not Taylor

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i didnt know you can just differentiate the numerator and the denominator while the numerator was being subtracted from e^x - 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is actually Maclaurin series which is a special case of Taylor Series.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If you want you can actually prove it using cauchy mean valuue theorem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can someone quickly show me how you get the answer to my other problem under this? thank you
