MCQ
If $\text{f(x)}=(\text{x+1})^{\cot\text{x}}$ be continuous at $x = 0,$ then $f(0)$ is equal to :
  • A
    $0$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{\text{e}}$
  • $e$
  • D
    None of these.

Answer

Correct option: C.
$e$
Given, $\text{f(x)}=(\text{x+1})^{\cot\text{x}}$
$\log\text{f(x)}=(\cot\text{x})(\log(\text{x+1})) \ [$Taking log on both sides$]$
$\Rightarrow\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}\log\text{f(x)}=\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}(\cot\text{x})(\log(\text{x+1}))$
$\Rightarrow\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}\log\text{f(x)}=\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}\Big(\frac{\log(\text{x+1})}{\tan\text{x}}\Big)$
$\Rightarrow\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}\log\text{f(x)}=\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}\frac{\Big(\frac{\log(\text{x+1})}{\text{x}}\Big)}{\Big(\frac{\tan\text{x}}{\text{x}}\Big)}$
$\Rightarrow\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}\log\text{f(x)}=\frac{\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}\Big(\frac{\log(\text{x+1})}{\text{x}}\Big)}{\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}\Big(\frac{\tan\text{x}}{\text{x}}\Big)}$
$\Rightarrow\log\Big(\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}\text{f(x)}\Big)=\frac{\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}\Big(\frac{\log(\text{x+1})}{\text{x}}\Big)}{\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}\Big(\frac{\tan\text{x}}{\text{x}}\Big)}$ $[\because f(x)$ is continuous at $x =0]$
$\Rightarrow\log\Big(\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}\text{f(x)}\Big)=1$
$\Rightarrow\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}\text{f(x)}=\text{e}$
$\Rightarrow\text{f(0)}=\text{e} \ [\because f(x) $ is continuous at $x = 0$]$
