x 0 e2| x|-2| x|-1x2
- is equal to 1
- does not exist
- is equal to -1
- is equal to 2
Answer
(4) is equal to 2
Solution
Put | x| = t; as x 0, t 0+ and t2 = 2 x, so
L = t 0 e2t - 2t - 1t2 x 0 2 xx2
The first limit has the form 00, so we apply L'Hôpital's rule:
t 0 2e2t - 22t = t 0 2 e2t - 12t = 2 1 = 2
Since 2 xx2 1, L = 2 1 = 2.
The limit exists and equals 2, so (1), (2) and (3) are wrong.
Answer: (4)
