Here the L i m i t i s x → I −
We can also write it as x → I − h
Here h a infinitesimally small positive number
So the expression becomes \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{e^\left\{I - h\right\} - \left\{I - h \right\} - 1}{\left\{I-h\right\}^2}
We replaced x by I - h where h → 0
Now as we are aware of the property { x } = x − ⌊ x ⌋
So following this property, we have { I − h } = ( I − h ) − ⌊ I − h ⌋
⇒ { I − h } = ( I − h ) − ( I − 1 )
as the greatest integer less than I is I − 1
So we get ⇒ { I − h } = 1 − h
Plugging in the value of { I − h } into the main expression
⇒ lim h → 0 ( 1 − h ) 2 e ( 1 − h ) − ( 1 − h ) − 1
Put h = 0 into the above expression and we get
( 1 − 0 ) 2 e ( 1 − 0 ) − ( 1 − 0 ) − 1
( 1 ) 2 e ( 1 ) − 2
⇒ e − 2
Hence e − 2 is the correct answer.
