So I have this essay where a question is "Calculate the three fundamental limits using l'Hospital's rule"
I find easy to calculate limx→0sin(x)x and limx→0ex−1x, however the one I can't understand is the limit limx→+∞(1+1x)x... How exactly am I supposed to use l'Hospital's rule here?
I tried writing (1+1x)x as (x+1)xxx and utilize the fact that d(xx)dx=xx(ln(x)+1) but instead of simplifying, using l'Hospital'a rule that way actually makes it worse...
Can anyone point me to the right direction?
Answer
HINT
By the well known exponential manipulation AB=eBlogA, we have
(1+1x)x=exlog(1+1x)=elog(1+1x)1x
and log(1+1x)1x is an indeterminate form 00.
