Let P = [ x]
[
](ax2+bx+c+1)2/x-
[
](ax2+bx+c+1)2/x-
Taking log on both sides,
ln P = ln [ x]
[
](ax2+bx+c+1)2/x-
= [ x]
[
] 2 ln (ax2 + bx + c + 1) / (x -
)
[
](ax2+bx+c+1)2/x-
= [ x]
[
] 2 ln (ax2 + bx + c + 1) / (x -
)[ For simple functions, we can take log Lt f(x) = Lt log f(x) ]
Now, the limit is in 0/0 form. So, apply L.Hospital's Rule,
ln P = 2 [ x]
[
] (2ax + b)/(ax2 + bx + c + 1) =2[ 2a
+ b ]
[
] (2ax + b)/(ax2 + bx + c + 1) =2[ 2a
+ b ][ since, a
2 + b
+ c = 0]
2 + b
+ c = 0]Therefore, ln P =2[2a
- a(
+
)] =2a(
-
) (since, -b/a = (
+
) )
- a(
+
)] =2a(
-
) (since, -b/a = (
+
) )So, the reqd. limit P = e 2a(
-
)
-
)So, option (c) is correct.
