limit as x approaches 0 of (9^x-7^x)/x

x \to 0 lim (\frac{9 ^{x} - 7 ^{x}}{x})

2 ln (3) - ln (7)

Decimal

0.25131 \dots

Solution steps

x \to 0 lim (\frac{9 ^{x} - 7 ^{x}}{x})

Apply L'Hopital's Rule

= x \to 0 lim (\frac{2 ln ( 3 ) \cdot 9 ^{x} - 7 ^{x} ln ( 7 )}{1})

Plug in the value

x = 0

= \frac{2 ln ( 3 ) \cdot 9 ^{0} - 7 ^{0} ln ( 7 )}{1}

Simplify

\frac{2 ln ( 3 ) \cdot 9 ^{0} - 7 ^{0} ln ( 7 )}{1} : 2 ln (3) - ln (7)

= 2 ln (3) - ln (7)
