I'm trying to prove: limt→0tln(1+t)=1 without use L'Hospital and derivate, because I still do not define derived from the logarithm, is there any way to prove it by the definition epsilon-delta? So far I have only defined log as the inverse function of ax and particular case a=e although the latter is proposed very weak, it may be improved later using integrals, some help thanks in advance.
Answer
limx→0ln(1+x)x=limx→01xln(1+x)=limx→0ln((1+x)1x)=ln(limx→0(1+x)1x)=ln(e)=1
We use the fact that aln(b)=ln(ba)
Edit: Based on comments, I added one last step before "ln(e)". This is to showcase that limits have the property that limx→x0f(g(x))=f(limx→x0g(x)) provided that limx→x0g(x)=L,L∈R and that f is continuous at x=L
