Evaluating $lim_{x to 0} frac{a_1exp(-b_1x^2)}{sum_i a_iexp(-b_ix^2)}$

$begingroup$


I am looking for the solution of the following limit:



$$lim_{x to 0} frac{a_1exp(-b_1x^2)}{sum_i a_iexp(-b_ix^2)}$$



Since $lim_{yto0}exp(y) = 1$, is $frac{a_1}{sum_i a_i}$ really the correct solution for this problem?

Provided the limit exists for $f,g$, the latter being nonzero, we can say



$$lim limits_{x to c} frac{f(x)}{g(x)} = frac{lim limits_{x to c} f(x)}{lim limits_{x to c} g(x)}$$



Take




  • $c = 0$

  • $f(x) = a_1exp(-b_1x^2)$


  • $g(x) = sum limits_{i} a_iexp(-b_ix^2) = exp(-b_ix^2) sum limits_{i} a_i$.


Thus, clearly,



$$begin{align}
lim limits_{x to c} f(x) &= a_1 \
lim limits_{x to c} g(x) &= sum limits_{i} a_i
end{align}$$



ultimately verifying your result, if the limit of the denominator can be guaranteed to be nonzero.
