Differentiation Question 329

Question: The derivative of function $ f(x) $ is $ {{\tan }^{4}}x $ . If $ f(0)=0 $ then $ \underset{x\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\frac{f(x)}{x} $ is equal to

[J & K 2005]

A) 1

B) 0

C) -1

D) None of these

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

$ \underset{x\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\frac{f(x)}{x}=\underset{x\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\frac{f(x)-0}{x-0}=\underset{x\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\frac{f(x)-f(0)}{x-0} $

$ ={{. {f}’(x) |} _{x=0}} $

$ ={{. {{\tan }^{4}}x |} _{x=0}}=0 $
