If $\underset{x\to 1}{lim}\frac{sin\left(3x^2-4x+1\right)-x^2+1}{2x^3-7x^2+ax+b}=-2,$ then the value of (a – b) is equal to………….

$\underset{x\to 1}{lim}\frac{sin\left(3x^2-4x+1\right)-x^2+1}{2x^3-7x^2+ax+b}=-2$

For this limit to be defined 2x³ – 7x² + ax + b should also trend to 0 or x ® 1.

$\therefore 2.{\left(1\right)}^3-7{\left(1\right)}^2+a\cdot 1+b=0$

 2 – 7 + (a + b) = 0

(a + b) = 5 …………….(i)

Now this becomes % form  $\therefore$ we apply L'lopital rule

$\underset{x\to 1}{lim}\frac{\left(3x^2-4x+1\right)-x^2+1}{2x^3-7x^2+ax+b}=\underset{x\to 1}{lim}\frac{cos\left(3x^2-4x+1\right)\left(6x-4\right)-2x}{6x^2-14x+a}$

Now the numerator again ® 0 as x = 1

$\therefore$  6x² – 14x + a ® 0 as x = 1

6 . (1)² – 14 + a = 0

a = 8 …………….(ii)

a + b = 5  $\therefore a-b=8-\left(-3\right)=11$      1 More
