Answer

$$ \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{e^{2 x}-e^{-2 x}}{\ln (x+1)}=4 $$

Work Step by Step

$$ \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{e^{2 x}-e^{-2 x}}{\ln (x+1)} $$ notice that as $ \quad x \rightarrow 0 \quad $ we have $ \quad ( e^{2 x}-e^{-2 x} ) \rightarrow 0 \quad $ and $ \quad \ln (x+1) \rightarrow 0 $ so, the limit is an indeterminate form of type $\frac{0}{0}$ so we can apply l’Hospital’s Rule: $$ \begin{aligned} \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{e^{2 x}-e^{-2 x}}{\ln (x+1)} & \quad\quad \rightarrow \frac{0}{0} \\ &\stackrel{\mathrm{H}}{=} \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{2 e^{2 x}+2 e^{-2 x}}{1 /(x+1)}\\ &=\frac{2+2}{1}\\ &=4 \end{aligned} $$
