The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

The limit is of the form \(1^\infty\), so \(L=e^{\ell}\) with \(\ell=\lim_{x\to0}\frac{\tan\left(\frac\pi4+x\right)-1}{x}\).
\(\tan\left(\frac\pi4+x\right)=\frac{1+\tan x}{1-\tan x}\), hence \(\tan\left(\frac\pi4+x\right)-1=\frac{2\tan x}{1-\tan x}\).
\(\ell=\lim_{x\to0}\frac{2\tan x}{x(1-\tan x)} = 2\cdot1\cdot\frac{1}{1-0}=2\).
So \(L=e^2\).
Answer: (4) \(e^2\)
