Q37 / 90 · JEE Main 2022 (26 Jul Shift 2) · Mathematics

Let β=limx→0αx-e3x-1αxe3x-1 for some α∈ℝ. Then the value of α+β is:

  • A
    145
  • B
    32
  • Correct answer
    C
    52
  • D
    72

Solution

Given, limx→0αx-e3x-1αxe3x-1=β

⇒limx→0αx+1-e3xαxe3x-13x·3x=β

⇒limx→0αx+1-e3x3αx2=β as limx→0ex-1x=1

⇒limx→0α-3e3x6αx=β   [Using L' Hospital rule as 00 form]

Now for limit to exist, α=3

So, limx→03-3e3x6×3×x=β

So, β=limx→0-e3x-16x=limx→0-3e3x6=-12

∴  α+β=52

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
