MCQ
Function $f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{ll}\left(\log _2 2 x\right)^{\log _x 8} ; & x \neq 1 \\ (k-1)^3 ; & x=1\end{array}\right.$ is continuous at $x=1$, then $k =$ __________
  • $e+1$
  • B
    $e^{1 / 3}$
  • C
    $e ^3$
  • D
    $e-1$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$e+1$
(A)
$\lim _{x \rightarrow 1}\left(\log _2 2 x\right)^{\log _x 8}$
$=\lim _{x \rightarrow 1}\left[\log _2 2+\log _2 x\right]^{\log _x 2^3}$
$=\lim _{x \rightarrow 1}\left[1+\log _2 x\right]^{3 \log _x 2}=\lim _{x \rightarrow 1}\left[1+\log _2 x\right]^{\frac{3}{\log _2 x}}$
$= e ^{\lim _{x \rightarrow 1} \log _2 x \times \frac{3}{\log _2 x}}= e ^3$
Since the function is continuous at $x=1$,
$\therefore \quad \lim _{x \rightarrow 1} f(x)=f(1)$
$\Rightarrow e ^3=( k -1)^3$
$\Rightarrow e = k -1$
$\Rightarrow k = e + l$
