    \[\underset{x\to \frac{{{\pi }^{-}}}{2}}{\mathop{\lim }}\,{{[1+{{(cos\,x)}^{\cos x}}]}^{2}}\] is equal to

    A) Does not exist

    B) 1

    C) e

    D) 4

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] Given \[\underset{x\to \frac{{{\pi }^{-}}}{2}}{\mathop{\lim }}\,{{[1+{{(cosx)}^{\cos x}}]}^{2}}\] Let \[y=\underset{x\to \frac{{{\pi }^{-}}}{2}}{\mathop{\lim }}\,{{(cosx)}^{\cos x}}\] \[\log (y)=\underset{x\to \frac{{{\pi }^{-}}}{2}}{\mathop{\lim }}\,(cosx)log\,cos\,x\] \[\log (y)=\underset{x\to \frac{{{\pi }^{-}}}{2}}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{\log (cosx)}{\sec (x)}\left( \frac{\infty }{\infty }form \right)\] Applying L?Hospital?s rule \[\log (y)=\underset{x\to \frac{{{\pi }^{-}}}{2}}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{-\sin x}{\cos x(sec\,x\,tan\,x)}\] \[=\underset{x\to \frac{{{\pi }^{-}}}{2}}{\mathop{\lim }}\,(-cosx)=0.\] \[\therefore y={{e}^{0}}=1\] Now, limits is \[{{(1+1)}^{2}}={{2}^{2}}=4.\]
