Let ee denote the base of the natural logarithm. The value of the real number aa for which the right-hand limit lim⁡x→0+(1−x)1χ−e−1xa\lim_{x \to {0}^{+}}\dfrac{\left(1 - x\right)\dfrac{1}{χ} - {e}^{- 1}}{{x}^{a}} is equal to a non-zero real number, is

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

lim⁡x→0+(1−x)1xaxa−1ddx[ln⁡(1−x)x]=lim⁡x→0+(1−x)1xaxa−1[1(x)(x−1)−ln⁡(1−x)x2]\lim_{x \to {0}^{+}}\dfrac{{\left(1 - x\right)}^{\dfrac{1}{x}}}{a{x}^{a - 1}}\dfrac{d}{dx}\left[\dfrac{\ln \left(1 - x\right)}{x}\right] = \lim_{x \to {0}^{+}}\dfrac{\left(1 - x\right)\dfrac{1}{x}}{a{x}^{a - 1}}\left[\dfrac{1}{\left(x\right)\left(x - 1\right)} - \dfrac{\ln \left(1 - x\right)}{{x}^{2}}\right]

=lim⁡x→0+(1−x)1xaxa−1[x−(x−1)ln⁡(1−x)x2(x−1)]= \lim_{x \to {0}^{+}}\dfrac{{\left(1 - x\right)}^{\dfrac{1}{x}}}{a{x}^{a - 1}}\left[\dfrac{x - \left(x - 1\right)\ln \left(1 - x\right)}{{x}^{2}\left(x - 1\right)}\right]

=lim⁡x→0+(1−x)1x{x+(x−1)(x+x22+x33........)}−a(1−x)xa+1= \lim_{x \to {0}^{+}}\dfrac{\left(1 - x\right)\dfrac{1}{x}\left\{x + \left(x - 1\right)\left(x + \dfrac{{x}^{2}}{2} + \dfrac{{x}^{3}}{3} . . . . . . . .\right)\right\}}{- a\left(1 - x\right){x}^{a + 1}}

=lim⁡x→0+(1−x)1x{x22+x3(12−13)+x4(13−14)+…}−a(1−x)xa+1= \lim_{x \to {0}^{+}}\dfrac{\left(1 - x\right)\dfrac{1}{x}\left\{\dfrac{{x}^{2}}{2} + {x}^{3}\left(\dfrac{1}{2} - \dfrac{1}{3}\right) + {x}^{4}\left(\dfrac{1}{3} - \dfrac{1}{4}\right) + \ldots\right\}}{- a\left(1 - x\right){x}^{a + 1}}

Which is real number if and only if a+1=2⇒a=1a + 1 = 2 ⇒ a = 1
