Math Problem Statement
Evaluate \( \lim_{{x \to \infty}} \left( x + e^x + e^{rx} \right)^{\frac{1}{x}} \) for different values of \( r \).
Solution
The expression you uploaded is:
where is a constant.
Solution:
To find this limit, let's analyze the behavior of each term inside the parentheses as .
- Dominant Term Analysis:
- grows linearly as .
- grows exponentially as .
- grows at the rate of , which depends on the value of . If , grows faster than , making it the dominant term. If , then is the dominant term.
Since exponential terms dominate over polynomial terms (like ), the term becomes negligible compared to and as .

Case Analysis Based on :
- If : will dominate over , so as .
- If : and grow at the same rate, so .
- If : will dominate over , so .
