Question
Standard Result Method (SRM)Evaluate: $\lim _{x \rightarrow 1} \frac{x^{n+1}-(n+1) x+n}{(x-1)^{2}}$
Step 1
We can write $x^{n+1}$ as $x \cdot x^n$ and then apply the binomial theorem to $x^n$. So, we have \[ x^{n+1}-(n+1)x+n = x \cdot (x^n) - (n+1)x + n = x \cdot (x^n - 1) - (n+1)(x - 1) \] Show more…
