Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\dfrac{8}{3}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Evaluate the first limit: \(\lim _{x \rightarrow 1} \dfrac{x^4-1}{x-1} = \lim _{x \rightarrow 1} \dfrac{(x-1)(x^3+x^2+x+1)}{x-1} = \lim _{x \rightarrow 1} (x^3+x^2+x+1) = 1+1+1+1 = 4\). Evaluate the second limit:…
