$\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{3^{\sin x}-2^{\tan x}}{\sin x}=$

If the function

$$ f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{cc} \frac{\cos a x-\cos 9 x}{x^2} & \text {, if } x \neq 0 \\ 16 & \text {, if } x=0 \end{array}\right. $$

is continuous at $x=0$, then $a=$

If $ f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{ll}\frac{8}{x^{3}}-6 x & \text {, if } 0 < x \leq 1 \\\\ \frac{x-1}{\sqrt{x}-1} & \text {,if } x > 1\end{array}\right. $ is a real valued function, then at $ x=1, f $ is
