Differentiation Question 198

Question: Evaluate $ \underset{x\to \infty }{\mathop{\lim }}{2^{x-1}}\tan ( \frac{a}{2^{x}} ). $

Options:

A) $ a $

B) $ 2a $

C) $ \frac{a}{2} $

D) $ 4a $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

[c] We have $ \underset{x\to \infty }{\mathop{\lim }}{2^{x-1}}\tan ( \frac{a}{2^{x}} )=\underset{x\to \infty }{\mathop{\lim }}\frac{a}{2}\frac{\tan ( \frac{a}{2^{x}} )}{( \frac{a}{2^{x}} )}( \frac{0}{0}form ) $

$ =\frac{a}{2}\underset{y\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\frac{\tan y}{y}=\frac{a}{2} $

$ ( wherey=\frac{a}{2^{x}} ) $
