Prove the following

Question:

Find ' $n$ ', if $\lim _{x \rightarrow 2} \frac{x^{n}-2^{n}}{x-2}=80, n \in \mathbf{N}$

Solution:

Given $\lim _{x \rightarrow 2} \frac{x^{n}-2^{n}}{x-2}=80$

We know that $\lim _{x \rightarrow a} \frac{x^{n^{n}}-a^{n}}{x-a}=n a^{n-1}$

By using this formula we get

$\Rightarrow \mathrm{n} 2^{\mathrm{n}-1}=80=5 \times 2^{4}=5 \times 2^{5-1}$

$\Rightarrow \mathrm{n}=5$
