If f x = log e 1 + x 2 ( tan x ) sin x 3 , x ≠ 0 is to be continuous at x = 0 , then f ( 0 ) must be…

If fx=loge1+x2(tanx)sinx3,x0 is to be continuous at x=0, then f(0) must be equal to
  1. 1
  2. 0
  3. 12
  4. -1

Solution

fx=loge1+x2(tanx)sinx3,x0

f0=loge1+0tan0sin0=00

Apply L'Hospital rule

duvdx=uv'+vu'

f0=limx011+x2tanxx2sec2x+2xtanxcosx3×3x2

f0=limx0(x1+x2tanx)(xsec2x+2tanx)cosx3×3x2

=limx0xsec2x+2tanx3xcosx31+x2tanx

=limx02tanxx+sec2x3cosx31+x2tanx

limx0tanxx=1

=limx02×1+13×11+0=33=1.
