lim(x->a) (x^m-a^m)/(x^n-a^n)=(m/n)a^(m-...

`lim_(x->a) (x^m-a^m)/(x^n-a^n)=(m/n)a^(m-n)` if `m>n`

A

`(m)/(n)a^(m-n)`

B

`(n)/(m)a^(m-n)`

C

`(m)/(n)a^(m+n)`

D

`(m)/(n)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
We have ,
`lim_(x to a ) (x^m-a^m)/(x^n-a^n) ["form"(0)/(0)]`
`-lim_(x to a) {(x^m-a^m)/(x-a) xx(x-a)/(x^n-a^n)}`
`-lim_(x to a) {(x^m-a^m)/(x-a) div(x^n-a^n)/(x-a)}`
`lim_(x to a) (x^m-a^m)/(x-a)div lim_(x to a) (x^n-a^n)/(x-a)=ma^m-1xxna^n-1=(m)/(n)a^m-n`
