Let $f: \rightarrow \mathbb{R} \rightarrow(0, \infty)$ be strictly increasing function such that $\lim _\limits{x \rightarrow \infty} \frac{f(7 x)}{f(x)}=1$. Then, the value of $\lim _\limits{x \rightarrow \infty}\left[\frac{f(5 x)}{f(x)}-1\right]$ is equal to
Solution
<p>$$\begin{aligned}
& f: R \rightarrow(0, \infty) \\
& \lim _{x \rightarrow \infty} \frac{f(7 x)}{f(x)}=1
\end{aligned}$$</p>
<p>$\because \mathrm{f}$ is increasing</p>
<p>$$\begin{aligned}
& \therefore \mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})<\mathrm{f}(5 \mathrm{x})<\mathrm{f}(7 \mathrm{x}) \\
& \because \frac{\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})}{\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})}<\frac{\mathrm{f}(5 \mathrm{x})}{\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})}<\frac{\mathrm{f}(7 \mathrm{x})}{\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})} \\
& 1<\lim _{\mathrm{x} \rightarrow \infty} \frac{\mathrm{f}(5 \mathrm{x})}{\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})}<1 \\
& \therefore\left[\frac{\mathrm{f}(5 \mathrm{x})}{\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})}-1\right] \\
& \Rightarrow 1-1=0
\end{aligned}$$</p>
