Solution

Given ${lim}_{x \to a} \frac{x^{5} - a^{5}}{x - a} = 405 . . . . (i)$

$L H S = {lim}_{x \to a} \frac{x^{5} - a^{5}}{x - a}$

$= 5 (a)^{5 - 1}$

$= 5 a^{4}$ It is given that $5 a^{4} = 405$

$\Rightarrow 5 a^{4} = 405$

$a^{4} = \frac{405}{5} = 81$

$a^{4} = (3)^{4}, a^{2} = 9$

$a = \pm 3$

$\Rightarrow a = 3$ and a=-3
