Question Number 71096 by Omer Alattas last updated on 11/Oct/19

Answered by $@ty@m123 last updated on 11/Oct/19

Let x=1+y  lim_(y→0)     (y/(ln (1+y)))    (1/(lim_(y→0)  ((ln (1+y))/y)))=1

$${Let}\:{x}=\mathrm{1}+{y} \\ $$$$\underset{{y}\rightarrow\mathrm{0}} {\mathrm{lim}}\:\:\:\:\frac{{y}}{\mathrm{ln}\:\left(\mathrm{1}+{y}\right)} \\ $$$$\:\:\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\underset{{y}\rightarrow\mathrm{0}} {\mathrm{lim}}\:\frac{\mathrm{ln}\:\left(\mathrm{1}+{y}\right)}{{y}}}=\mathrm{1} \\ $$

lim_(x→0)    ((ln (1+x))/x)=1 is a standard limit formula.  It can be proved easily using  logarithmic expansion.  i.e. ln (1+x)=x−(x^2 /2)+(x^3 /3)− ....

lim_(x→0) ((ln(1+x))/x)  = lim_(x→0) ((x−(x^2 /2)+(x^3 /3)−(x^4 /4)+...)/x)  = lim_(x→0) ((1−(x/2)+(x^2 /3)−(x^3 /4)+...)/1)  = 1−0+0−0+...=1

$$\underset{\boldsymbol{{x}}\rightarrow\mathrm{0}} {\boldsymbol{{lim}}}\frac{\boldsymbol{{ln}}\left(\mathrm{1}+\boldsymbol{{x}}\right)}{\boldsymbol{{x}}} \\ $$$$=\:\underset{\boldsymbol{{x}}\rightarrow\mathrm{0}} {\boldsymbol{{lim}}}\frac{\boldsymbol{{x}}−\frac{\boldsymbol{{x}}^{\mathrm{2}} }{\mathrm{2}}+\frac{\boldsymbol{{x}}^{\mathrm{3}} }{\mathrm{3}}−\frac{\boldsymbol{{x}}^{\mathrm{4}} }{\mathrm{4}}+...}{\boldsymbol{{x}}} \\ $$$$=\:\underset{\boldsymbol{{x}}\rightarrow\mathrm{0}} {\boldsymbol{{lim}}}\frac{\mathrm{1}−\frac{\boldsymbol{{x}}}{\mathrm{2}}+\frac{\boldsymbol{{x}}^{\mathrm{2}} }{\mathrm{3}}−\frac{\boldsymbol{{x}}^{\mathrm{3}} }{\mathrm{4}}+...}{\mathrm{1}} \\ $$$$=\:\mathrm{1}−\mathrm{0}+\mathrm{0}−\mathrm{0}+...=\mathrm{1} \\ $$
