Let

f\left( x \right) = \left\{ {\begin{array}{cccccccccccccccccccc} {\frac{{\tan x - \cot x}}{{x - \frac{\pi }{4}}},x \ne \frac{\pi }{4}}\\ {a,x = \frac{\pi }{4}} \end{array}} \right.

the value of a so that

f\left( x \right)

is continuous at

x = \frac{\pi }{4}

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

Option B (4) is correct because for f(x) to be continuous at x = π/4, the limit of f(x) as x approaches π/4 must equal f(π/4), which leads to a = 4 after applying L'Hopital's rule.
