If f(x)= 25-x^2 , then what is Lim _ x 1 f(x)-f(1) x-1 equal to ?
Options
- A1/5
- B1/24
- C24
- D- 1 24
Correct answer
D. - 1 24
Step-by-step solution
aligned & f(x)= 25-x^2 & f(1)= 24 & _ x 1 f(x)-f(1) x-1 aligned It is 0 0 (undefined condition) so using L'hospital's rule _ x 1 f ^ ( x )-0 1 = _ x 1 ( 25- x ^2 )^ _ x 1 1 2 1 25-x^2 (-2 x)= 1 2 1 25-(1)^2 (-2)=- 1 24
