To make the given limit in

(y - 1)e + Osin(a0) = 0
0
→ (y -1) = 0 →y=1
So, lim -

d): We have,
(x- 1)(6 + 2 cos(x - 1)) + sin(1-x) = - 1
(x - 1)3
3xx5(x)

x→0*
Put x- 1= t

Since limit is finite so, we have
1+ a - b= 0 and -2 - 8a = 0
= a =-.
4 andb=1-1
=.
3
Now, 6 + 2 - 4 = 0
- л
=-1→32-u=6
...(i)
...(ii)
2
From (i) and (i), we get ^ = 6, u = 12
2+u = 18
(c): Given, Lim (J (2+x)) = e"
lim -(f(2+x) -1)
→ ex→ox
= e"
(1" form)
→
= e"
e35(2) = e" → el=e"
So. a = 12
Now, y = 4x - 42- 4(a- 7)x - a
= 423-422-20x-12
= 4(x + 1)2 (x- 3)
..
Roots are -1, -1 and 3
So, the curve y = 4r' - 4 - 20x - 12. The
curve meets x-axis at 2 points.
