\[ \lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} ( 1+ \frac{ 3 }{x })^{x}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
in the future put the question in the question box please
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh yay. this is one of those derpy ones. go look at the definition of e ;)

do you know the standard limit formula,
\(\lim_{x \rightarrow 0} ( 1+ x)^{1/x}=...?\)

no
thats new
hartnn (hartnn):
to bring it in that form, first you need to put x=1/y
so that as x->infinity, y->0
hartnn (hartnn):
\[\lim_{x \rightarrow 0} ( 1+ x)^{1/x}=e\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
is that a rule !!! we just follow it
hartnn (hartnn):
put x=1/y
what u get ?

hartnn (hartnn):
yes, but your Q is not exactly that rule/formula..so answer isn't =e
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I got ∞ as an answer
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i got one as answer -.-
hartnn (hartnn):
how 1 ?
hartnn (hartnn):
both are incorrect :P

\[limx→∞(1+3x)^x \]
\[=(1+\frac{ 3 }{ \infty } )^{\infty} \]
\[= 1^{\infty} = 1\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):

hartnn (hartnn):
lol
OpenStudy (anonymous):
exactly
hartnn (hartnn):
1^infinity is undefined...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
:I who said that
OpenStudy (anonymous):
try it on ur calculator >:[

hartnn (hartnn):
i did now......and all the mathematicians did it already..
hartnn (hartnn):
trust me 1^infinity is not defined...
hartnn (hartnn):
tell me what u get after u put x=1/y
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okie -.-
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so the answer is ?

hartnn (hartnn):
you want answer or you want to know how to get it ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
de second choice
hartnn (hartnn):
tell me what u get after u put x=1/y
OpenStudy (anonymous):
what is y ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
function ?

a new vaiable so that i can bring your limit in standard form.
hartnn (hartnn):
*variable
hartnn (hartnn):
in your limit, x-> infinity
standard form, x->0
so i put x=1/y
so that y->0 now..
OpenStudy (anonymous):
y = ( 1+ 3/x) ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
=.=

you can choose any variable to put in place of 1/x
'y' or 'u' or 't' or even 'Alice_Dump'
Alice_Dump = 1/x
Alice_Dump ->0
OpenStudy (anonymous):
xDD
hartnn (hartnn):
bdw, y=1/x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okie
hartnn (hartnn):
so, your limit in terms of y is ?

TT^TT
OpenStudy (anonymous):
just let me me think okie -.-
hartnn (hartnn):
sure, take your time :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
is it ......
\[\frac{ 1 }{ 1+ \frac{ 3 }{x } }\] ??
OpenStudy (anonymous):
is that what u mean .!!

hartnn (hartnn):
no...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
XD
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-.-
OpenStudy (anonymous):
im still looking for it too...

i give up thinking -_-
OpenStudy (anonymous):
show me de solution
hartnn (hartnn):
3/x = 3(1/x) = 3y
so, wait....
OpenStudy (anonymous):
and i'll seee how u did it
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ohh okie ..

OpenStudy (anonymous):
i get it now
hartnn (hartnn):
\[\lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} ( 1+ \frac{ 3 }{x })^{x}\\=\lim_{y \rightarrow 0} ( 1+ 3y )^{1/y} \\ =\lim_{y \rightarrow 0} [( 1+ 3y )^{1/3y}]^3\]
did you get the last step ??
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i got the answer e^3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So its multiplied?
hartnn (hartnn):
e^3 is correct!
