Options

A. `ka/b`
B. `k b/a`
C. `a/b`
D. `b/a`

Answer

To solve the limit problem given in the question, we will follow these steps:

### Step 1: Identify the limit expression
We need to evaluate the limit:
\[ L = \lim_{x \to a} \frac{\sqrt{f(x) - a}}{\sqrt{\phi(x) - b}} \]
where \( f(a) = a^2 \) and \( \phi(a) = b^2 \).

### Step 2: Substitute the values of \( f(x) \) and \( \phi(x) \)
Since \( f(a) = a^2 \) and \( \phi(a) = b^2 \), we can express:
\[ f(x) - f(a) = f(x) - a^2 \]
\[ \phi(x) - \phi(a) = \phi(x) - b^2 \]

### Step 3: Evaluate the limit directly
Substituting \( x = a \) in the limit gives:
\[ \sqrt{f(a) - a} = \sqrt{a^2 - a^2} = \sqrt{0} = 0 \]
\[ \sqrt{\phi(a) - b} = \sqrt{b^2 - b^2} = \sqrt{0} = 0 \]
This results in an indeterminate form \( \frac{0}{0} \).

### Step 4: Apply L'Hôpital's Rule
Since we have an indeterminate form, we can apply L'Hôpital's Rule:
\[ L = \lim_{x \to a} \frac{\frac{d}{dx}(\sqrt{f(x) - a^2})}{\frac{d}{dx}(\sqrt{\phi(x) - b^2})} \]

### Step 5: Differentiate the numerator and denominator
Using the chain rule, we differentiate:
- For the numerator:
\[ \frac{d}{dx}(\sqrt{f(x) - a^2}) = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{f(x) - a^2}} \cdot f'(x) \]
- For the denominator:
\[ \frac{d}{dx}(\sqrt{\phi(x) - b^2}) = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{\phi(x) - b^2}} \cdot \phi'(x) \]

### Step 6: Substitute back into the limit
Now substituting these derivatives back into the limit:
\[ L = \lim_{x \to a} \frac{\frac{1}{2\sqrt{f(x) - a^2}} \cdot f'(x)}{\frac{1}{2\sqrt{\phi(x) - b^2}} \cdot \phi'(x)} \]
This simplifies to:
\[ L = \lim_{x \to a} \frac{f'(x)}{\phi'(x)} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{\phi(x) - b^2}}{\sqrt{f(x) - a^2}} \]

### Step 7: Evaluate the limit as \( x \to a \)
Using the given condition \( f'(a) = k \phi'(a) \):
\[ L = \frac{f'(a)}{\phi'(a)} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{\phi(a) - b^2}}{\sqrt{f(a) - a^2}} = k \cdot \frac{\sqrt{b^2 - b^2}}{\sqrt{a^2 - a^2}} = k \cdot \frac{0}{0} \]
This indicates we need to evaluate further using the derivatives.

### Step 8: Final evaluation
Since we have \( f'(a) = k \phi'(a) \), we can express:
\[ L = k \cdot \frac{b}{a} \]
Thus, the limit is:
\[ L = \frac{k b}{a} \]

### Final Result
The limit is:
\[ L = \frac{k b}{a} \]
