$$lim_{xto 1^+}[ln(x^7 -1) - ln(x^5 -1)]$$



This is a question from L-Hospital rule question set. My approach was to apply log property in this question and solve it, but $ln(frac{0}{0})$ might not be right way to convert it into indeterminate form.



How to solve this question?

          $$lim_{x to 1^+} [ln(x^7-1)- ln(x^5-1)]=ln left[lim_{xto 1^+} frac{x^7-1}{x^5-1} right]$$



          Evaluate $lim_{xto 1^+} frac{x^7-1}{x^5-1} $ first and I think you can solve the problem.

          Hint:



          $$lim_{xto 1^+}left[ln(x^7 -1) - ln(x^5 -1)right]=lnleft(lim_{xto 1^+}dfrac{x^7-1}{x^5-1}right)$$



          Now use $x^n-1=(x-1)(x^{n-1}+x^{n-2}+cdots+x+1)$



          Alternatively, $dfrac{x^7-1}{x^5-1}=dfrac{dfrac{x^7-1}{x-1}}{dfrac{x^5-1}{x-1}}$



          and $$lim_{xto 1}dfrac{x^n-1}{x-1}=dfrac{d(x^n)}{dx}_{text{( at }x=1)}$$

            Hint:



            $$lim_{xto 1^+}left[ln(x^7 -1) - ln(x^5 -1)right]=lnleft(lim_{xto 1^+}dfrac{x^7-1}{x^5-1}right)$$



            Now use $x^n-1=(x-1)(x^{n-1}+x^{n-2}+cdots+x+1)$



            Alternatively, $dfrac{x^7-1}{x^5-1}=dfrac{dfrac{x^7-1}{x-1}}{dfrac{x^5-1}{x-1}}$



            and $$lim_{xto 1}dfrac{x^n-1}{x-1}=dfrac{d(x^n)}{dx}_{text{( at }x=1)}$$

Apolo y la Nueve Musas En la mitología griega, las musas (en griego antiguo μοῦσαι « mousai» ) son, según los escritores más antiguos, las divinidades inspiradoras de las Artes: cada una de ellas está relacionada con ramas artísticas y del conocimiento. Son hijas de Zeus y de Mnemósine, compañeras del séquito de Apolo, dios olímpico de la música y patrón de las bellas artes, quien tuvo romances con cada una de ellas, dejando descendientes. Bajaban a la tierra a susurrar ideas e inspirar a aquellos mortales que las invocaran. En la época más arcaica eran las ninfas inspiradoras de las fuentes, en las cuales eran adoradas. Finalmente, alrededor de los siglos VIII-VII a. C. [ 1 ] ​ prevaleció en todo el territorio de la Hélade la adoración de las nueve Musas, que son Calíope, Clío, Erato, Euterpe, Melpómene, Polimnia, Talía, Terpsícore y Urania.
