Question
Let $\text{f}\text{(x)}=\frac{\log\Big(1+\frac{\text{x}}{\text{a}}\Big)-\log\Big(1-\frac{\text{x}}{\text{b}}\Big)}{\text{x}},\text{x}\neq0$ Find the value of f at x = 0. So that f becomes continuous at x = 0.

Answer

Given, $\text{f}\text{(x)}=\frac{\log\Big(1+\frac{\text{x}}{\text{a}}\Big)-\log\Big(1-\frac{\text{x}}{\text{b}}\Big)}{\text{x}},\text{x}\neq0$
If f(x) is continuous at x = 0, then
$\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow 0}\text{f}\text{(x)}=\text{f}(0)$
$\Rightarrow\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow 0}\begin{pmatrix}\frac{\log\Big(1+\frac{\text{x}}{\text{a}}\Big)-\log\Big(1-\frac{\text{x}}{\text{b}}\Big)}{\text{x}}\end{pmatrix}=\text{f}(0)$
$\Rightarrow\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow 0}\begin{pmatrix}\frac{\log\Big(1+\frac{\text{x}}{\text{a}}\Big)}{\frac{\text{ax}}{\text{a}}}-\frac{\log\Big(1-\frac{\text{x}}{\text{b}}\Big)}{\frac{\text{bx}}{\text{b}}}\end{pmatrix}=\text{f}(0)$
$\Rightarrow\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow 0}\begin{pmatrix}\frac{\log\Big(1+\frac{\text{x}}{\text{a}}\Big)}{\frac{\text{x}}{\text{a}}}\end{pmatrix}-\Big(-\frac{1}{\text{b}}\Big)\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow 0}\begin{pmatrix}\frac{\log\Big(1-\frac{\text{x}}{\text{b}}\Big)}{\frac{-\text{x}}{\text{b}}}\end{pmatrix}=\text{f}(0)$
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{\text{a}}\times1-\Big(-\frac{1}{\text{b}}\Big)\times1=\text{f}(0)$ $\Big[\text{Using :}\lim_{\text{x} \rightarrow 0}\frac{\text{log(1}+\text{x)}}{\text{x}}=1\Big]$
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{\text{a}}+\frac{1}{\text{b}}=\text{f}(0)$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{a}+\text{b}}{\text{ab}}=\text{f}(0)$
