The value of \(\lim _\limits{x \rightarrow 0} \dfrac{e^{a x}-e^{b x}}{2 x}\) is equal to
- A 0
- B \(\dfrac{e^{a b}}{2}\)
- C \(\dfrac{a+b}{2}\)
- D \(\dfrac{a-b}{2}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(\dfrac{a-b}{2}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The limit is given by \(L = \lim_{x \rightarrow 0} \dfrac{e^{ax} - e^{bx}}{2x}\). Since the limit is of the form \(\dfrac{0}{0}\) as \(x \rightarrow 0\), L'Hopital's rule can be applied by differentiating the numerator and the denominator with respect to \(x\).…
