Functions Question 122

Question: $ \underset{x\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }},

[ \frac{x}{{{\tan }^{-1}}2x} ]= $ [IIT 1992; RPET 2001]

Options:

A) 0

B) $ \frac{1}{2} $

C) 1

D) $ \infty $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

Let $ {{\tan }^{-1}}2x=\theta ,\Rightarrow x=\frac{1}{2}\tan \theta $ and as $ x\to 0,\theta \to 0 $
$ \Rightarrow \underset{x\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\frac{x}{{{\tan }^{-1}}2x}=\underset{\theta \to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\frac{\frac{1}{2}\tan \theta }{\theta }=\frac{1}{2} $ .
