limit as x approaches 0 of (3^x-1)/x

x \to 0 lim (\frac{3 ^{x} - 1}{x})

ln (3)

Decimal

1.09861 \dots

Solution steps

x \to 0 lim (\frac{3 ^{x} - 1}{x})

Apply L'Hopital's Rule

= x \to 0 lim (\frac{ln ( 3 ) \cdot 3 ^{x}}{1})

Plug in the value

x = 0

= \frac{ln ( 3 ) \cdot 3 ^{0}}{1}

Simplify

= ln (3)
