MCQ
Let $f(x) = \left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
{\frac{{{{(1 + \tan x)}^{\frac{1}{x}}} - e}}{x};x \ne 0}\\
{k\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,;x \ne 0}
\end{array}} \right.$ be continuous at $x = 0$, then $k$ is-
  • $-\frac{e}{2}$
  • B
    $-e$
  • C
    $-\frac{e}{4}$
  • D
    $\frac{e}{4}$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$-\frac{e}{2}$
a
${\rm{k}} = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{{\rm{x}} \to 0} \left( {\frac{{{{\rm{e}}^{\frac{1}{{\rm{x}}}\ln (1 + \tan {\rm{x}})}} - {\rm{e}}}}{{\rm{x}}}} \right)$

${\rm{k}} = e\mathop {\lim }\limits_{{\rm{x}} \to 0} \left( {\frac{{{{\rm{e}}^{\frac{1}{{\rm{x}}}\ln (1 + \tan {\rm{x}}) - 1}} - 1}}{{\rm{x}}}} \right)$

${\rm{k}} = e\mathop {\lim }\limits_{{\rm{x}} \to 0} \left( {\frac{{{{\rm{e}}^{\frac{1}{{\rm{x}}}\ln (1 + \tan x) - 1}} - 1}}{{\frac{1}{{\rm{x}}}\ln (1 + \tan {\rm{x}}) - 1}}} \right)\left( {\frac{{\ln (1 + \tan {\rm{x}}) - {\rm{x}}}}{{{{\rm{x}}^2}}}} \right)$

$k=e \times\left(-\frac{1}{2}\right)=-\frac{e}{2}$
