Math Problem Statement

lim t → 0+

xln(9x) − x

3

t

Solution

It looks like you're asking for the limit of an expression as t0+t \to 0^+. The expression is:

limt0+xln(9x)x3t\lim_{t \to 0^+} \frac{x \ln(9x) - x}{3t}

I assume xx and tt are independent variables. First, let's break this problem down step by step.

Since you are taking the limit as t0+t \to 0^+, and the expression is in terms of tt only in the denominator, we need to focus on the behavior of xx in terms of tt.

Step 1: Expression analysis

The given expression is xln(9x)x3t\frac{x \ln(9x) - x}{3t}. For the limit as t0+t \to 0^+, the behavior of xx in terms of tt needs to be understood to see whether this limit is well-defined.

However, without knowing the relationship between xx and tt, the limit cannot be simplified directly. Typically, in limits of this type, one might make an assumption about how xx behaves as t0+t \to 0^+.

  1. Case 1: xx is a constant — If xx does not depend on tt, the limit would be undefined, since the denominator goes to zero while the numerator stays constant, leading to an infinite value.

  2. Case 2: x=f(t)x = f(t), where xx is a function of tt — If there is a specific relationship between xx and tt, such as x=tx = t or a similar functional form, the limit might yield a more meaningful result.

Could you clarify if xx is a constant or a function of tt? That would help determine how to proceed with the limit.

Tip: When handling logarithmic limits, always check if the form is indeterminate (e.g., 0×0 \times \infty) to decide if techniques like L'Hopital’s Rule or substitution are required.
