limit as h approaches+0-of (2^h-1)/h

h \to + 0 - lim (\frac{2 ^{h} - 1}{h})

ln (2)

Decimal

0.69314 \dots

Solution steps

h \to 0 - lim (\frac{2 ^{h} - 1}{h})

Apply L'Hopital's Rule

= h \to 0 - lim (\frac{ln ( 2 ) \cdot 2 ^{h}}{1})

Plug in the value

h = 0

= \frac{ln ( 2 ) \cdot 2 ^{0}}{1}

Simplify

= ln (2)
