lim x → 1x15-...

Question

${lim}_{x \to 1} \frac{x^{15} - 1}{x^{10} - 1}$

Open in App

Solution

${lim}_{x \to 1} \frac{x^{15} - 1}{x^{10} - 1}$

$= {lim}_{x \to 1} \frac{\frac{x^{15} - 1}{x - 1}}{\frac{x^{10} - 1^{10}}{x - 1}}$ [Dividing numerator and denominator by (x-1)]

$= \frac{{lim}_{x \to 1} \frac{x^{15} - 1^{15}}{x - 1}}{{lim}_{x \to 1} \frac{x^{10} - 1^{10}}{x - 1}}$

Applying the formula ${lim}_{x \to a} \frac{x^{n} - a^{n}}{x - a} = n a^{n - 1}$ in numerator and denominator

$\Rightarrow \frac{{lim}_{x \to 1} \frac{x^{15} - 1^{15}}{x - 1}}{{lim}_{x \to 1} \frac{x^{10} - 1^{10}}{x - 1}} = \frac{15 (1)^{15 - 1}}{10 (1)^{10 - 1}}$

$= \frac{15}{10} = \frac{3}{2}$
Hence, answer is $\frac{3}{2}$
