limit as x approaches 0 of (7^x-8^x)/x

x \to 0 lim (\frac{7 ^{x} - 8 ^{x}}{x})

ln (7) - 3 ln (2)

Decimal

- 0.13353 \dots

Solution steps

x \to 0 lim (\frac{7 ^{x} - 8 ^{x}}{x})

Apply L'Hopital's Rule

= x \to 0 lim (\frac{7 ^{x} ln ( 7 ) - 3 ln ( 2 ) \cdot 8 ^{x}}{1})

Plug in the value

x = 0

= \frac{7 ^{0} ln ( 7 ) - 3 ln ( 2 ) \cdot 8 ^{0}}{1}

Simplify

\frac{7 ^{0} ln ( 7 ) - 3 ln ( 2 ) \cdot 8 ^{0}}{1} : ln (7) - 3 ln (2)

= ln (7) - 3 ln (2)
