MCQ
If $f(x)$ is a differentiable function, then $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to a} {{af(x) - xf(a)} \over {x - a}}$ is
  • $af'\,(a) - f\,(a)$
  • B
    $af\,(a) - f'(a)$
  • C
    $af'\,(a) + f\,(a)$
  • D
    $af\,(a) + f'(a)$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$af'\,(a) - f\,(a)$
a
(a) $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to a} \,\frac{{af(x) - xf(a)}}{{x - a}}$

==> $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to a} \,\frac{{af(x) - xf(a) + af(a) - af(a)}}{{x - a}}$

==> $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to a} \,\frac{{a[f(x) - f(a)] - f(a)[x - a]}}{{x - a}}$

==> $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to a} \,\frac{{a[f(x) - f(a)]}}{{x - a}} - \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to a} \,f(a)$

==> $af'(a) - f(a)$.
