The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

The correct answer is (C) : \(\frac{5}{2}\)
\(β = \lim _{x →0} \frac{αx-(e^{3x}-1)}{αx(e^{3x}-1)}, α \in R.\)
\(=\lim_{x →0} \frac{\frac{α}{3}-(\frac{e^{3x}-1}{3x})}{αx(\frac{e^{3x-1}}{3x})}\)
So, α = 3 (to make indeterminant form)
\(β = \lim_{x\rightarrow0}\frac{1-(\frac{e^{3x}-1}{3x})}{3x}\)
\(= \frac{1-\frac{(3x+\frac{9x^2}{2}+...)}{3x}}{3x}\)
\(= -\frac{(\frac{9}{2}x^2+\frac{(3x)^3}{31}+...)}{9x^2}=\frac{-1}{2}\)
\(∴ α+β = 3 -\frac{1}{2}\)
\(= \frac{5}{2}\)

Limits

A function's limit is a number that a function reaches when its independent variable comes to a certain value. The value (say a) to which the function f(x) approaches casually as the independent variable x approaches casually a given value "A" denoted as f(x) = A.

If limx→a- f(x) is the expected value of f when x = a, given the values of ‘f’ near x to the left of ‘a’. This value is also called the left-hand limit of ‘f’ at a.

If limx→a+ f(x) is the expected value of f when x = a, given the values of ‘f’ near x to the right of ‘a’. This value is also called the right-hand limit of f(x) at a.

If the right-hand and left-hand limits concur, then it is referred to as a common value as the limit of f(x) at x = a and denote it by lim x→a f(x).
