Aufgaben:Problem 8

Concerning part a)

It is kind of unclear to me how \( \frac{d}{dx} ln(x) \vert_{x=1} = -x\dfrac{(\ln(1)-\ln(1-\frac{x}{k}))}{\frac{x}{k}} \). Wouldn't it be much easier to just:

$$ \lim_{k \rightarrow \infty} \ln((1-\frac{x}{k})^{k}) = \lim_{k \rightarrow \infty} k\ln(1-\frac{x}{k}) = \lim_{k \rightarrow \infty} \frac{\ln(1-\frac{x}{k})}{\frac{1}{k}} $$

and then use Bernoulli-L'Hopital to get:

$$ \lim_{k \rightarrow \infty} \frac{\ln(1-\frac{x}{k})}{\frac{1}{k}} = \lim_{k \rightarrow \infty} \frac{\frac{x}{k^2}}{(\frac{x}{k} - 1) \frac{1}{k^2}} = -x $$

Second thing: Nevermind, confused myself...
