calculus - Calculate fundamental limits using l'Hospital rule



So I have this essay where a question is "Calculate the three fundamental limits using l'Hospital's rule"



I find easy to calculate limx0sin(x)x and limx0ex1x, 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.
