MCQ
$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} \,\frac{{{e^x} - {e^{ - x}}}}{{\sin x}}$ is
  • A
    $0$
  • B
    $1$
  • $2$
  • D
    Non existent

Answer

Correct option: C.
$2$
c
(c) $y = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} \frac{{{e^x} - {e^{ - x}}}}{{\sin x}}$

==> $y = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} \frac{{\left[ {1 + \frac{x}{{1!}} + \frac{{{x^2}}}{{2!}} + ....} \right] - \left[ {1 - \frac{x}{{1!}} + \frac{{{x^2}}}{{2!}} - ....} \right]}}{{\sin x}}$

==> $y = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} \frac{{2\,\left[ {\frac{x}{{1!}} + \frac{{{x^3}}}{{3!}} + \frac{{{x^5}}}{{5!}} + .............} \right]}}{{\sin x}}$

==> $y = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} \frac{{2\,\left[ {1 + \frac{{{x^2}}}{{3!}} + \frac{{{x^4}}}{{4!}} + ...........} \right]}}{{\frac{{\sin x}}{x}}}$

==> $y = \frac{{\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} 2\,\left[ {1 + \frac{{{x^2}}}{{2!}} + .......} \right]}}{{\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} \frac{{\sin x}}{x}}}$

==> $y = \frac{2}{1} = 2$

Trick : Applying $L-$ Hospital’s rule,

$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} \frac{{{e^x} - {e^{ - x}}}}{{\sin x}}$

$ = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} \frac{{{e^x} + {e^{ - x}}}}{{\cos x}} = \frac{{{e^0} + \frac{1}{{{e^0}}}}}{{\cos 0}} = \frac{{1 + 1}}{1} = 2$.
