calculus - Find the limit limxtoinftyfracex(1+frac1x)x2



Find the limit
limxex(1+1x)x2.




I know that the limit is of indeterminate form type , but it seems using L'Hopital's rule directly does not help here. Do I somehow use the fact that limx(1+1x)x=e?


Answer



For any x>1,
x2log(1+1x)=x12+O(1x),


so:
xx2log(1+1x)=12+O(1x).

By exponentiating such identity, you get that the limit is e1/2=e.
