Tricky limit?

OpenStudy (baldymcgee6):

\[\lim_{x\to 0}\left(\frac{(1+x)^{\frac{1}{x}}}{e}\right)^{\frac{1}{x}}.\]

OpenStudy (baldymcgee6):

sorry, thats kind of hard to see.

OpenStudy (baldymcgee6):

\[\LARGE \lim_{x\to 0}\left(\frac{(1+x)^{\frac{1}{x}}}{e}\right)^{\frac{1}{x}}.\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[ \Large e = \lim_{n \rightarrow \infty}\left(1+\frac{1}{n}\right)^n \]When you reparameterize: \(x=1/n\) \[\Large e = \lim_{x \rightarrow 0}\left(1+x\right)^\frac{1}{x} \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So it's a matter of settling that outer 1/x

OpenStudy (baldymcgee6):

I haven't learned 'reparameterize' yet, so I would assume I wouldn't have to use that... Supposed to use L'Hospital's rule

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, then you need to have an indeterminate form of \(\infty /\infty\) or \(0/0\)

OpenStudy (baldymcgee6):

right.
