The value of k   ( k > 0 ) , for which the function f x = e x - 1 4 sin x 2 k 2 log 1 + x 2 2 ,…

The value of k (k>0), for which the function fx=ex-14sinx2k2log1+x22, where x0 and f(0)=8, is continuous at x=0, is
  1. 1
  2. 4
  3. 2
  4. 3

Solution

Here, we can know for continuity, limx0fx=8

limx0ex-14sinx2k2log1+x22=8

Now, limx0ex-14sinx2k2log1+x22=limx0ex-1x4sinx2k2x2×log1+x22x2 (dividing x4, to the numerator and denominator)

=limx0ex-1x4sinx2k2k×x2k2×log1+x22x22×2=limx0ex-1x4sinx2k2k2×x2k2×log1+x22x22×2=11k2×12=2k2

So, 2k2=8 k=2 (ignoring the negative value)
