    \[\underset{x\to \frac{\pi }{2}}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{{{a}^{\cot x}}-{{a}^{\cos x}}}{\cot x-\cos x}\]is equal to:

    A)  \[log\text{ }a\]                

    B)         \[log\text{ }2\]

    C)  \[a\]                    

    D)         \[log\text{ }x\]

    E)  none of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[\underset{x\to \frac{\pi }{2}}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{{{a}^{\cot x}}-{{a}^{\cos x}}}{\cot x-\cos x}\] \[=\underset{x\to \frac{\pi }{2}}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{\left[ \begin{align}   & 1+\cos x\log a+\frac{{{\cot }^{2}}x}{2!}{{(\log a)}^{2}}+.... \\  & -1-\cos x\log a-\frac{{{\cos }^{2}}x}{2!}{{(\log a)}^{2}}+... \\ \end{align} \right]}{\cot x-\cos x}\] \[=\underset{x\to \frac{\pi }{2}}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{\left[ \begin{align}   & \log a(\cot x-\cos x)+\frac{{{(\log a)}^{2}}}{2!} \\  & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,({{\cot }^{2}}x-{{\cos }^{2}}x)+... \\ \end{align} \right]}{\cot x-\cos x}\] \[=\underset{x\to \frac{\pi }{2}}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\log a+\frac{{{(\log a)}^{2}}}{2!}(\cos x+\cos x)+...\] \[=\log a\]
