Limits
\[\LARGE \lim_{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{e^{tanx}-e^x}{tanx-x}\]
LaTeX suggestion, use \tan rather than "tan" `\tan ` is better than `tan` in LaTeX \(\tan \) , \(tan\) \(\LARGE \lim_{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{e^{\tan x}-e^x}{\tan x-x} \)
Okay
I think it is 1.
0/0 form appy lhospital rule
L hopsital didn't work for me
and @mathslover it is one
simply series expand e^x&e^tanx
\[\LARGE \frac{e^{tanx} \times \sec^2x -e^x}{\sec^2x-1}\] after differentiating
still 0/0
And how can i expand using series for e^tanx? it would lead me nowhere,i tried that though.
@hartnn
e^x=1+x+x^2/2!+....... e^tanx=1+tanx+(tanx)^2/2!+.....
yes
i don't think it will lead to the answer
Differentiate both numerator and denominator.
I did
yeah
\[\LARGE \frac{e^{tanx} \times \sec^2x -e^x}{\sec^2x-1}\]
we have to convert it in something like (e^x-1)/x.. this is equal to 1..
oops sorry, didn't scroll above. You're on right track, what you did next?
various method to solve limit problems
divide numerator and denominator by xe^x
but LHOSPITAL EASY METHOD..............
those were my first thoughts, donno whether it will work
L hospital is giving 0/0
@hartnn might work
Yes^
CONVERT DETEMINANT FORM
differentiate again..
DIFF AGAIN & AGAIN
lol
differentiate infinite times :P
there should be an easy alternate method for this

Hmm, I think I got it. Wait
i told already it is one
Here it is. \( \large {\lim _ {x \rightarrow 0 } \cfrac{e^{\tan x} - e^x}{\tan x - x} \\ \textbf{By taking e^x common from numerator and then using : } \\ \ \lim _ {x \rightarrow 0 } {f(x). g(x)} = \lim _ {x \rightarrow 0} * \lim _{ x\rightarrow 0} g(x) \\ \implies 1 ( \lim_ {x\rightarrow 0}\cfrac{e^{\tan x - x} -1}{\tan x -x} )\\ \textbf{Put tan x - x = y} : \\ \qquad \\ \lim _ {y\rightarrow 0} \cfrac{e^y - 1}{y} = 1 }\)
Sorry it took time for me to write it all. I am little bit tired now a days :)
Hope it helps @DLS
just one note, as x-> 0 tan x-x ->0 and hence y->0 then you can apply that standard limit.
e^tanx-e^x/tanx-x= e^tanx[ 1- e^x/e^tanx]/ tanx-x = e^tanx[ 1- e^x-tanx]/tanx-x = e^ tanx[ 1- e^ -(tanx-x)]/tanx-x further apply rule
