- We need to evaluate
L=x→2lim∫6f(x)x−24t3dt.
Since x is the variable of the limit and t is the integration variable, for fixed x=2 we can take x−21 outside the integral:
L=x→2limx−21∫6f(x)4t3dt.
- Evaluate the inner integral:
∫4t3dt=t4.
So,
∫6f(x)4t3dt=f(x)4−64=f(x)4−1296.
Hence,
L=x→2limx−2f(x)4−1296.
- Since f(2)=6, we have
1296=64=f(2)4.
Thus,
L=x→2limx−2f(x)4−f(2)4.
This is exactly the derivative of the function g(x)=f(x)4 at x=2:
L=g′(2).
- Differentiate using the chain rule:
g′(x)=4f(x)3f′(x).
Therefore,
L=g′(2)=4f(2)3f′(2).
Substitute the given values:
L=4⋅63⋅481.
Now 63=216, so
L=4⋅216⋅481=48864=18.
- Therefore, the value of the limit is
18.
