limit as x approaches 0+of (1-x)^{1/x}

x \to 0 + lim ((1 - x)^{\frac{1}{x}})

\frac{1}{e}

Decimal Notation

0.36787 \dots

Solution steps

x \to 0 + lim ((1 - x)^{\frac{1}{x}})

Apply exponent rules

= x \to 0 + lim (e^{\frac{1}{x} l n (1 - x)})

Apply the Limit Chain Rule:

\frac{1}{e}

= \frac{1}{e}

\frac{d y}{d x} = 3 x^{2} + 1

x \to 0 - lim (\frac{1}{x})

\int (\frac{sin ( 5 x )}{cos ( 5 x )}) d x

tan (3 t)

\int \frac{x ^{2} - 4 x + 3}{x ( x + 1 ) ^{2}} d x
