Let lim(xto1) (x^(a)-ax+a-1)/((x-1)^(2))...

Let `lim_(xto1) (x^(a)-ax+a-1)/((x-1)^(2))=f(a)`. Then the value of `f(4)` is_________.

A

4

B

3

C

6

D

2

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`(6)`
Put `x=1+h`. Then,
`f(a)=underset(hto0)lim((1+h)^(a)-a(1+h)+a-1)/(h^(2))`
`=underset(hto0)lim((1+ah+(a(a-1))/(2!)h^(2)+...)-a-ah+a-1)/(h^(2))`
`:.f(a)=(a(a-1))/(2)`
`:.f(4)=6`
