Correct answer: A
Step-by-step Solution:
-
Analyze the given limit expression. We are given the equation: As , the numerator becomes and the denominator becomes . This is an indeterminate form of type . We can solve this limit by either using L'Hôpital's Rule or by rewriting the expression to relate it to the definition of a derivative.
-
Rewrite the limit to find the derivative. Let's add and subtract the term in the numerator: Now, we can split the limit into two parts: Factor out common terms: The term can be factored as . The term cancels out. The second limit is the definition of the derivative . Now, we can evaluate the limit by substituting :
-
Formulate and solve the differential equation. The equation we derived is a first-order linear differential equation: Let , so . Dividing by (since ), we get the standard form : Here, and .
-
Find the integrating factor (I.F.). The integrating factor is given by . Since , we can drop the absolute value.
-
Solve for the general solution. Multiply the standard form of the differential equation by the I.F.: The left side is the derivative of : Integrate both sides with respect to : Solving for :
-
Use the initial condition to find the constant C. We are given that . Substitute into the general solution:
-
Write the final expression for f(x). Substitute the value of C back into the general solution: This can also be written as:
-
Compare with the given options. The derived function matches option A.
Alternative method using L'Hôpital's Rule: Differentiating numerator and denominator with respect to gives: Setting this equal to 1 gives , which is the same differential equation obtained above, leading to the same solution.
