MCQ
If $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to \infty } \left[ {\frac{{{x^3} + 1}}{{{x^2} + 1}} - (ax + b)} \right] = 2$, then
  • A
    $a = 1$ and $b = 1$
  • B
    $a = 1$ and $b = - 1$
  • $a = 1$ and $b = - 2$
  • D
    $a = 1$ and $b = 2$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$a = 1$ and $b = - 2$
c
(c) $\mathop {{\rm{lim}}}\limits_{x \to \infty } \,\left( {\frac{{{x^3} + 1}}{{{x^2} + 1}} - (ax + b)} \right) = 2$
==> $\mathop {{\rm{lim}}}\limits_{x \to \infty } \,\left( {\frac{{{x^3}(1 - a) - b{x^2} - ax + (1 - b)}}{{{x^2} + 1}}} \right) = 2$
==> $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to \infty } \,[{x^3}(1 - a) - b{x^2} - ax + (1 - b)] = 2\,({x^2} + 1)$.
Comparing the coefficients of both sides, $1 - a = 0$ and $ - b = 2$ or $a = 1,\,b = - 2$.
