Answer

$\approx 0.6931$

Work Step by Step

We have to evaluate the limit: $\lim\limits_{h \to 0} f(h)$, where $f(h)=\dfrac{2^h-1}{h}$ We compute the value of the function $f$ for values of $h$ close to 0: $f(0.01)\approx 0.69555501$ $f(0.001)\approx 0.69338746$ $f(0.0001)\approx 0.6931712$ $f(-0.01)\approx 0.69075046$ $f(-0.001)\approx 0.692901701$ $f(-0.0001)\approx 0.69312316$ We got $\lim\limits_{h \to 0} f(h)\approx 0.6931$
