Math Problem Statement
lim x→+∞
(e^
1−x)/
(1/x)
Solution
We are asked to compute the limit:
Step-by-step Solution:
-
Rewrite the expression:
We can rewrite the limit as:
-
Simplify the exponent:
The expression can be rewritten as:
Thus, the limit becomes:
or simply:
-
Evaluate the limit:
To compute , notice that decays exponentially, while grows linearly. Exponentially decaying functions approach zero much faster than linear growth, so this product tends to 0:
-
Final Answer:
Therefore, multiplying by , we get:
