Let $f : R \to (0, \infty)$ be a twice differentiable function such that $f(3) = 18$, $f'(3) = 0$ and $f''(3) = 4$. Then
$\lim_{x \to 3} \left( \log_e \left( \frac{f(2 + x)}{f(3)} \right) \right)^{\frac{18}{(x-3)^2}}$
is equal to:
🎥 Video solution / Text Solution of this question is given below:
Let $T = \lim_{x \to 3} \left( \frac{f(x+2)}{f(3)} \right)^{\frac{18}{(x-3)^2}}$ ; $1^\infty$ form
$\Rightarrow T = e^{\lim \frac{18}{(x-3)^2} \cdot \frac{f(x+2) - f(3)}{f(3)}}$
$\Rightarrow T = e^{\lim \frac{18}{(x-3)^2} \cdot \frac{f(x+2) - f(3)}{18}}$
$\Rightarrow T = e^{\lim \frac{f(x+2) - f(3)}{(x-3)^2}}$ ; $0/0$ form apply L’Hospital
$\Rightarrow T = e^{\lim \frac{f'(x+2)}{2(x-3)}}$ ; $0/0$ form apply L’Hospital
$\Rightarrow T = e^{\lim \frac{f''(x+2)}{2}} = e^2$
$\Rightarrow \log_e (T) = 2$
