limit as x approaches 0 of ((1+x)^5-1)/x

x \to 0 lim (\frac{( 1 + x ) ^{5} - 1}{x})

5

Solution steps

x \to 0 lim (\frac{( 1 + x ) ^{5} - 1}{x})

Simplify

\frac{( 1 + x ) ^{5} - 1}{x} : x + (x + 1)^{4} + (x + 1)^{3} + (x + 1)^{2} + 2

= x \to 0 lim (x + (x + 1)^{4} + (x + 1)^{3} + (x + 1)^{2} + 2)

Plug in the value

x = 0

= 0 + (0 + 1)^{4} + (0 + 1)^{3} + (0 + 1)^{2} + 2

Simplify

0 + (0 + 1)^{4} + (0 + 1)^{3} + (0 + 1)^{2} + 2 : 5

= 5
