Standard indeterminacy layout resolution rules for limits matching form 1^∞:

t → 0 [g(t)](1)/(t) = e^ t → 0 (g(t) - 1)/(t)
Core Logic

Evaluate structural integration base at boundary limit initialization state t → 0:

∫₀¹ 1 dx = 1

This confirms it matches an indeterminate form of type 1^∞.

Step 1: Apply Taylor Series or L'Hopital's Theorem

Compute limits of logarithmic integration properties inside exponential power indices:

Exponent Expression = t → 0 ∫₀¹ (3x+5)^t dx - 1t

Applying L'Hopital's theorem to differentiate the numerator with respect to t yields:

∫₀¹ (3x+5)^t ln(3x+5) dx

Evaluating this at t = 0 gives:

∫₀¹ ln(3x+5) dx
Step 2: Complete the Final Form Match

Integrating via parts results in logarithmic value updates:

[ ((3x+5)ln(3x+5) - (3x+5))/(3) ]₀¹ = (8ln 8 - 5ln 5 - 3)/(3)

Passing components back through exponential foundations transforms terms to:

e(8ln 8 - 5ln 5 - 3)/(3) = ((8)/(5))(2)/(3) · ((64)/(5e))

Comparing with the target expression (α)/(5e)((8)/(5))(2)/(3) isolates the numerical solution directly: α = 64

Treating 1^∞ structural transformations using logarithmic derivatives allows managing complex functions containing multiple integral boundaries effectively.

A function is discontinuous if left-hand and right-hand limits mismatch at boundary transitions. Non-differentiability occurs at discontinuities or sharp turns.

f(x) = cases 3x, & x < 0 x, & 0 ≤ x < 1 x + 2, & 1 ≤ x < 2 5, & x > 2 cases
Step 1: Testing Continuity Limits

Check continuity at structural boundaries: At x = 0: LHM = 0, RHM = 0 Continuous. At x = 1: LHM = 1, RHM = 3 Discontinuous. At x = 2: LHM = 4, RHM = 5 Discontinuous.

Thus, α = 2 points of discontinuity (x in 1, 2).

Step 2: Testing Differentiability Parameters

Discontinuities automatically introduce non-differentiability. Now check smooth corners at the remaining continuous transition x = 0:

f^ (0^-) = 3, f^ (0^+) = 1 Not differentiable at x=0.

Thus, β = 3 points of non-differentiability (x in 0, 1, 2).

α + β = 2 + 3 = 5
Pattern Recognition

Discontinuities automatically break differentiability. Always count them first before checking derivatives at smooth corner points.

Evaluate Left-Hand Limit (LHL) using standard forms [cite: 1410]: LHL = x arrow 0^- (1+ax)1/x = e^a [cite: 1410]

Given baseline definition states f(0) = 1+b [cite: 1410].

For Right-Hand Limit (RHL) to be finite and valid, the numerator tracking towards 0 means the denominator must also balance towards 0 to avoid divergence [cite: 1411]: x arrow 0^+ [(x+c)1/3 - 2] = 0 c1/3 = 2 c = 8 [cite: 1414]

Step 1: Applying L'Hopital's rule to the RHL

With c=8, evaluate RHL limit expressions using derivatives [cite: 1411]: RHL = x arrow 0^+ 12√(x+4)(1)/(3)(x+8)-2/3 = (1)/(2(2))(1)/(3)(8)-2/3 = ((1)/(4))/((1)/(3 · 4)) = (1)/(4) · 12 = 3 [cite: 1411, 1415]

Step 2: Equating limits for parameter solutions

Equate continuous criteria milestones together [cite: 1416]: e^a = 1 + b = 3 [cite: 1416] e^a = 3 b = 2 [cite: 1416]

Q52 jee_main_2025_04_april_evening Evaluation of Limits
Let f be a differentiable function on R such that f(2) = 1, f'(2) = 4. Let x → 0 (f(2 + x))3/x = eα. Then the number of times the curve y = 4x³ - 4x² - 4(α -7)x - α meets x-axis is:-
  • A. 2
  • B. 1
  • C. 0
  • D. 3

Solution

Related Formula

For a limit of the form x → 0 [g(x)]h(x) where g(x) → 1 and h(x) → ∞, the limit evaluates to:

e^ x → 0 h(x)[g(x) - 1]
Core Logic

Given the limit expression:

x → 0 (f(2 + x))3/x = eα

Using the standard form as f(2)=1, this transforms to:

e^ x → 0 (3)/(x) (f(2 + x) - 1) = eα

Recognizing the definition of the derivative f'(2) = x → 0 (f(2+x)-1)/(x):

e3 f'(2) = eα

Given f'(2) = 4:

e3(4) = e¹² = eα α = 12
Step 1: Finding Intersection points with x-axis

Substitute α = 12 into the equation of the curve:

y = 4x³ - 4x² - 4(12 - 7)x - 12 y = 4x³ - 4x² - 20x - 12

To find where it meets the x-axis, set y = 0:

4x³ - 4x² - 20x - 12 = 0 x³ - x² - 5x - 3 = 0

Testing for rational roots, x = -1 is a root because (-1)³ - (-1)² - 5(-1) - 3 = -1 - 1 + 5 - 3 = 0.

Step 2: Factoring the cubic polynomial

Dividing x³ - x² - 5x - 3 by (x+1) gives:

(x + 1)(x² - 2x - 3) = 0 (x + 1)(x + 1)(x - 3) = 0 (x + 1)²(x - 3) = 0

The roots are x = -1 (repeated root) and x = 3. Therefore, the distinct real values of x where the curve intersects the x-axis are -1 and 3, meaning it meets the x-axis exactly 2 times.

Pattern Recognition

A repeated root like (x+1)² means the curve is tangent to the x-axis at that point, but it still counts as a meeting point. Always count distinct real roots when determining the number of meeting points with the coordinate axes.

Standard Taylor expansions near zero:

h = 1 - (h²)/(2!) + (h⁴)/(4!) - h = h - (h³)/(3!) + (h⁵)/(5!) -
Core Logic

Let x - 1 = h, where h → 0⁺. The expression transforms into:

h → 0(h(6 + λ h) - μ h)/(h³) = -1

Substitute the expansions into the numerator:

h → 0(h[6 + λ(1 - (h²)/(2))] - μ(h - (h³)/(6)))/(h³) = -1 h → 0((6 + λ - μ)h + (-(λ)/(2) + (μ)/(6))h³)/(h³) = -1
Step 1: Match Coefficients for Existence

For the limit to be finite, the coefficient of h must vanish:

6 + λ - μ = 0 μ - λ = 6 (1)

Equating the h³ term to the given limit value:

-(λ)/(2) + (μ)/(6) = -1 -3λ + μ = -6 (2)
Step 2: Solve System of Equations

Subtract equation (1) from (2):

(-3λ + μ) - (μ - λ) = -6 - 6 -2λ = -12 λ = 6

From (1), μ = 6 + 6 = 12.

λ + μ = 6 + 12 = 18
Pattern Recognition

When dealing with indeterminate form limits involving mixed trigonometric expressions with a non-zero denominator power, polynomial substitution using Taylor series is much cleaner and less prone to differentiation tracking mistakes compared to multiple L'Hôpital cycles.
