Solve the exponential limit http://i.imgur.com/RHzNK7L.png

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Please apply l'Hopital's Rule here. If you have problems with that, please ask questions.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm not supposed to use l'hopital's rule. I'm supposed to use substitution

OpenStudy (phi):

I assume you know \[ \lim_{x\rightarrow \infty} \left( 1+\frac{1}{x}\right)^x \] let u =2x in your problem and put your expression in terms of u what do you get ?

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Supposing we set u=2x as phi has suggested. Solve for x. x = ?? In: \[\lim_{x\rightarrow \infty} \left( 1+\frac{1}{x}\right)^x\]

OpenStudy (mathmale):

that \[\lim_{x\rightarrow \infty}\]

OpenStudy (mathmale):

now becomes \[\lim_{u\rightarrow \infty}\]

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Can you now finish re-writing phi's \[\lim_{x\rightarrow \infty} \left( 1+\frac{1}{x}\right)^x\] ... in terms of u?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

none of this was helpful at all

OpenStudy (phi):

The first step is let u =2x in your problem and put your expression in terms of u what do you get ?
