Very, very indeterminate

Calculus Level 3

L = lim x 0 + ( log cot ( x ) ) tan ( x ) \large L = \displaystyle \lim_{x\to 0^+} (\log \cot(x))^{\tan(x)}

If the number of digits of L L be a a , find L + a L + a


The answer is 2.

Take log and write tan x as 1/cot x

l o g ( L ) = l o g ( l o g ( c o t x ) ) c o t x log(L)=\frac{log(log(cotx))}{cotx} as cotx tends to infinite

So log(L)=0 or L=1 or a=1 i.e L+a=2

Graph makes it easier.So the answer to the limit is 1 and number of digits is 1 indeed , L+a = 2 .
