Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 5

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Applying L-Hospital's rule, we get
\(\begin{aligned}
& \lim _{x \rightarrow a} \frac{g(x) f(a)-g(a) f(x)}{(x-a)} \\
& =\lim _{x \rightarrow a} \frac{g^{\prime}(x) f(a)-g(a) f^{\prime}(x)}{1} \\
& =g^{\prime}(a) f(a)-g(a) f^{\prime}(a) \\
& =2(2)-(-1)(1) \\
& =4+1 \\
& =5
\end{aligned}\)
