The correct Answer is:
To find the limit of the function \[ \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{e^x - e^{-x} - 2x}{x - \sin x} \] we will apply L'Hospital's rule since the limit results in the indeterminate form \( \frac{0}{0} \). ### Step 1: Check the form of the limit First, we evaluate the numerator and denominator at \( x = 0 \): - Numerator: \[ e^0 - e^{-0} - 2(0) = 1 - 1 - 0 = 0 \] - Denominator: \[ 0 - \sin(0) = 0 - 0 = 0 \] Since both the numerator and denominator approach 0, we have the indeterminate form \( \frac{0}{0} \). ### Step 2: Apply L'Hospital's Rule According to L'Hospital's rule, we differentiate the numerator and the denominator: - Differentiate the numerator: \[ \frac{d}{dx}(e^x - e^{-x} - 2x) = e^x + e^{-x} - 2 \] - Differentiate the denominator: \[ \frac{d}{dx}(x - \sin x) = 1 - \cos x \] Now we can rewrite the limit: \[ \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{e^x + e^{-x} - 2}{1 - \cos x} \] ### Step 3: Evaluate the new limit Now we check the new limit at \( x = 0 \): - Numerator: \[ e^0 + e^{-0} - 2 = 1 + 1 - 2 = 0 \] - Denominator: \[ 1 - \cos(0) = 1 - 1 = 0 \] We still have the indeterminate form \( \frac{0}{0} \), so we apply L'Hospital's rule again. ### Step 4: Apply L'Hospital's Rule again Differentiate the numerator and denominator again: - Differentiate the numerator: \[ \frac{d}{dx}(e^x + e^{-x} - 2) = e^x - e^{-x} \] - Differentiate the denominator: \[ \frac{d}{dx}(1 - \cos x) = \sin x \] Now we rewrite the limit: \[ \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{e^x - e^{-x}}{\sin x} \] ### Step 5: Evaluate the new limit Now we check the limit at \( x = 0 \): - Numerator: \[ e^0 - e^{-0} = 1 - 1 = 0 \] - Denominator: \[ \sin(0) = 0 \] We still have the indeterminate form \( \frac{0}{0} \), so we apply L'Hospital's rule one more time. ### Step 6: Apply L'Hospital's Rule again Differentiate the numerator and denominator again: - Differentiate the numerator: \[ \frac{d}{dx}(e^x - e^{-x}) = e^x + e^{-x} \] - Differentiate the denominator: \[ \frac{d}{dx}(\sin x) = \cos x \] Now we rewrite the limit: \[ \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{e^x + e^{-x}}{\cos x} \] ### Step 7: Evaluate the new limit Now we check the limit at \( x = 0 \): - Numerator: \[ e^0 + e^{-0} = 1 + 1 = 2 \] - Denominator: \[ \cos(0) = 1 \] Thus, the limit is: \[ \frac{2}{1} = 2 \] ### Final Answer The limit is: \[ \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{e^x - e^{-x} - 2x}{x - \sin x} = 2 \]
