The correct Answer is:
To evaluate the limit \[ \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\log(1+x)}{e^x - 1}, \] we first check the form of the limit as \(x\) approaches 0. 1. **Substituting \(x = 0\)**: - The numerator becomes \(\log(1+0) = \log(1) = 0\). - The denominator becomes \(e^0 - 1 = 1 - 1 = 0\). - Thus, we have a \( \frac{0}{0} \) indeterminate form. 2. **Applying L'Hôpital's Rule**: Since we have an indeterminate form, we can apply L'Hôpital's Rule, which states that if the limit results in \( \frac{0}{0} \) or \( \frac{\infty}{\infty} \), we can take the derivative of the numerator and the derivative of the denominator. - Differentiate the numerator: \[ \frac{d}{dx}[\log(1+x)] = \frac{1}{1+x}. \] - Differentiate the denominator: \[ \frac{d}{dx}[e^x - 1] = e^x. \] 3. **Re-evaluating the limit**: Now we can rewrite the limit using the derivatives: \[ \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\log(1+x)}{e^x - 1} = \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\frac{1}{1+x}}{e^x}. \] 4. **Substituting \(x = 0\) again**: - The new numerator becomes \(\frac{1}{1+0} = 1\). - The new denominator becomes \(e^0 = 1\). - Thus, we have: \[ \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{1}{1} = 1. \] 5. **Final Answer**: Therefore, the limit is: \[ \boxed{1}. \]
