    Let\[f(x)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{18-{{x}^{2}}}}\]. The value of\[\underset{x\to 3}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{f(x)-f(3)}{x-3}\]is:

    A) \[0\]                                     

    B) \[-1/9\]

    C) \[-1/3\]               

    D) \[3\sqrt{3}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Since,\[f(x)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{18-{{x}^{2}}}}\] \[\therefore \]  \[\underset{x\to 3}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{f(x)-f(3)}{x-3}\]                 \[=\underset{x\to 3}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{\frac{1}{\sqrt{18-{{x}^{2}}}}-\frac{1}{\sqrt{18-9}}}{x-3}\]                 \[=\underset{x\to 3}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{\frac{1}{\sqrt{18-{{x}^{2}}}}-\frac{1}{3}}{x-3}\] Applying L' Hospital's rule                 \[=\underset{x\to 3}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{-\frac{1}{2}{{(18-{{x}^{2}})}^{-3/2}}(-2x)}{1}\]                 \[={{9}^{-3/2}}(3)=\frac{1}{9}\]
