    \[\underset{x\to a}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{\log (x-a)}{\log ({{e}^{x}}-{{e}^{a}})}\]is equal to:

    A) \[0\]                                     

    B) \[1\]

    C) \[a\]                                     

    D)  does not exist

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[\underset{x\to a}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{\log (x-a)}{\log ({{e}^{x}}-{{e}^{a}})}\left( \frac{\infty }{\infty }form \right)\] Using L' Hospital's rule, we get \[=\underset{x\to a}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{\frac{1}{x-a}}{\frac{{{e}^{x}}}{{{e}^{x}}-{{e}^{a}}}}=\underset{x\to a}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{{{e}^{x}}-{{e}^{a}}}{(x-a)({{e}^{x}})}\] Again, using L' Hospital's rule \[=\underset{x\to a}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{{{e}^{x}}}{{{e}^{x}}(x-a)+{{e}^{x}}}=\frac{{{e}^{a}}}{{{e}^{a}}}=1\]
