Let \(f:\to \mathrm{ℝ}\to (0,\infty )\) be strictly increasing function such that \(\lim _{x\to \infty }\frac{f(7x)}{f(x)}=1\). Then, the value of \(\lim _{x\to \infty }\left[\frac{f(5x)}{f(x)}-1\right]\) is equal to

✓ Correct answer: c)

0

Explanation

\(f\) is increasing function.

\(x<5x<7x\)

\(f(x)<f(5x)<f(7x)\)

\(\frac{f(x)}{f(x)}<\frac{f(5x)}{f(x)}<\frac{f(7x)}{f(x)}\)

\(\lim_{x\to\infty}\frac{f(x)}{f(x)}<\lim_{x\to\infty}\frac{f(5x)}{f(x)}<\lim_{x\to\infty}\frac{f(7x)}{f(x)}\)

\(1<\lim_{x\to\infty}\frac{f(5x)}{f(x)}<1\Rightarrow \lim_{x\to\infty}\frac{f(5x)}{f(x)}=1\)

\(\lim_{x\to\infty}\left(\frac{f(5x)}{f(x)}-1\right)=0\)
