Continuity and Differentiability

Question:

In order that the function f(x) = (x + 1)cotx is continuous at x = 0, f(0) must be defined as equal to

Options:

0

e

1/e

none of these

Correct Answer:

e

Explanation:

$\underset{x→0}{\lim}f(x)=\underset{x→0}{\lim}(x+1)^{\cot x}$ (1 form)

or $\underset{x→0}{\lim}=\underset{x→0}{\lim}[(1+x)^{1/x}]^{\frac{x}{\tan x}}=e^1$ ⇒ f(0) = e.

Hence (B) is the correct answer.
