The correct Answer is:
To evaluate the limit \[ \lim_{x \to 0} \left(\frac{1 + 6x^2}{1 + 4x^2}\right)^{\frac{1}{x^2}}, \] we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the form of the limit First, we substitute \(x = 0\) into the expression: \[ \frac{1 + 6(0)^2}{1 + 4(0)^2} = \frac{1 + 0}{1 + 0} = \frac{1}{1} = 1. \] Thus, we have the form \(1^{\infty}\), which is an indeterminate form. ### Step 2: Apply the logarithmic limit technique We can rewrite the limit using the exponential function. We know that if \(L = \lim_{x \to a} f(x)^{g(x)}\) and \(f(x) \to 1\) and \(g(x) \to \infty\), then: \[ L = e^{\lim_{x \to a} g(x) \cdot (f(x) - 1)}. \] In our case, let \(f(x) = \frac{1 + 6x^2}{1 + 4x^2}\) and \(g(x) = \frac{1}{x^2}\). ### Step 3: Calculate \(f(x) - 1\) Now we need to compute \(f(x) - 1\): \[ f(x) - 1 = \frac{1 + 6x^2}{1 + 4x^2} - 1 = \frac{1 + 6x^2 - (1 + 4x^2)}{1 + 4x^2} = \frac{6x^2 - 4x^2}{1 + 4x^2} = \frac{2x^2}{1 + 4x^2}. \] ### Step 4: Substitute into the limit Now we substitute \(f(x) - 1\) back into our limit: \[ \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{1}{x^2} \cdot \left(\frac{2x^2}{1 + 4x^2}\right). \] This simplifies to: \[ \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{2x^2}{x^2(1 + 4x^2)} = \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{2}{1 + 4x^2}. \] ### Step 5: Evaluate the limit Now we can evaluate this limit as \(x\) approaches \(0\): \[ \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{2}{1 + 4x^2} = \frac{2}{1 + 0} = 2. \] ### Step 6: Final result Now we can find the original limit: \[ L = e^{\lim_{x \to 0} g(x) \cdot (f(x) - 1)} = e^{2}. \] Thus, the final result is: \[ \lim_{x \to 0} \left(\frac{1 + 6x^2}{1 + 4x^2}\right)^{\frac{1}{x^2}} = e^{2}. \]
