I do not understand what this question is asking me to do.



What does it mean to get the limit at 0 and how does that relate to the derivative using this example?



Are not the limit and the derivative at 0 going to be different?



I am really confused as to how I need to approach this question, do I take the derivative of the limit at 0?



I am probably misinterpreting this question altogether, please help me clarify? Thank you.

          Hint:



          Use the following property, if $f$ is differentiable,



          $$lim_h to 0 fracf(y+mh) - f(y-nh)(m+n)h=f'(y)$$

          Notice that $ ln (2x + 1 ) - ln (1-3x) = ln left( frac2x+11-3x right )$. Let $f(x) = ln left( frac2x+11-3x right )$ and $f(0) = ln 1 = 0 $. Now, your limit reads as



          beginalign*
          lim_x to 0 dfracln (2x + 1 ) - ln (1-3x)x &= lim_x to 0 frac ln left( frac2x+11-3x right ) x \
          &=lim_x to 0 frac f(x) - f(0) x-0 \
          &= f'(0)
          endalign*
