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

    A)  0                                            

    B)  1                            

    C)         a                            

    D)         does not exist

    E)  \[-a\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[\underset{x\to a}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{\log (x-a)}{\log ({{e}^{x}}-{{e}^{a}})}\] \[=\underset{x\to a}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{\frac{1}{x-a}}{\frac{1}{{{e}^{x}}-{{e}^{a}}}{{e}^{x}}}\](by LHospitals rule) \[=\underset{x\to a}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{{{e}^{x}}-{{e}^{a}}}{{{e}^{x}}(x-a)}\] \[=\underset{x\to a}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{{{e}^{x}}}{{{e}^{x}}(x-a)+{{e}^{x}}}\] (again by LHospitals rule) \[=\frac{{{e}^{a}}}{{{e}^{a}}}=1\]
