Correct answer: D

  1. We need to evaluate
L=lim⁡x→0e−(1+2x)12xx.L=\lim_{x\to 0}\frac{e-(1+2x)^{\frac{1}{2x}}}{x}.L=x→0lim​xe−(1+2x)2x1​​.
  1. Let
y=(1+2x)12x.y=(1+2x)^{\frac{1}{2x}}.y=(1+2x)2x1​.

Then

ln⁡y=12xln⁡(1+2x).\ln y=\frac{1}{2x}\ln(1+2x).lny=2x1​ln(1+2x).
  1. Expand ln⁡(1+2x)\ln(1+2x)ln(1+2x) near x=0x=0x=0:
ln⁡(1+2x)=2x−2x2+O(x3).\ln(1+2x)=2x-2x^2+O(x^3).ln(1+2x)=2x−2x2+O(x3).

Therefore,

12xln⁡(1+2x)=12x(2x−2x2+O(x3))=1−x+O(x2).\frac{1}{2x}\ln(1+2x)=\frac{1}{2x}(2x-2x^2+O(x^3))=1-x+O(x^2).2x1​ln(1+2x)=2x1​(2x−2x2+O(x3))=1−x+O(x2).

So,

y=(1+2x)12x=e1−x+O(x2)=e e−x+O(x2).y=(1+2x)^{\frac{1}{2x}}=e^{1-x+O(x^2)}=e\,e^{-x+O(x^2)}.y=(1+2x)2x1​=e1−x+O(x2)=ee−x+O(x2).

Using et=1+t+O(t2)e^t=1+t+O(t^2)et=1+t+O(t2) for small ttt,

e−x+O(x2)=1−x+O(x2).e^{-x+O(x^2)}=1-x+O(x^2).e−x+O(x2)=1−x+O(x2).

Hence,

(1+2x)12x=e(1−x+O(x2))=e−ex+O(x2).(1+2x)^{\frac{1}{2x}}=e(1-x+O(x^2))=e-ex+O(x^2).(1+2x)2x1​=e(1−x+O(x2))=e−ex+O(x2).
  1. Substitute into the limit:
e−(1+2x)12x=e−(e−ex+O(x2))=ex+O(x2).e-(1+2x)^{\frac{1}{2x}}=e-(e-ex+O(x^2))=ex+O(x^2).e−(1+2x)2x1​=e−(e−ex+O(x2))=ex+O(x2).

Thus,

e−(1+2x)12xx=e+O(x).\frac{e-(1+2x)^{\frac{1}{2x}}}{x}=e+O(x).xe−(1+2x)2x1​​=e+O(x).

Taking x→0x\to 0x→0,

L=e.L=e.L=e.
  1. Therefore the correct option is
D  :  e.\boxed{D\;:\; e}.D:e​.
  1. Comparison with stored correct answer: stored answer is DDD, which matches our result.
