How to evaluate $\lim\limits_{t\to 0} \frac{e^{-1/t}}{t}$? How can I evaluate
\[
\lim_{t\to 0} \frac{e^{-1/t}}{t}\quad ?
\]
I tried to use L'Hôpital's rule but it didn't help me. Any hints are welcome. Thanks.
 A: Note that as $t \to 0$, $\exp(-1/t)$ tends 'faster' to $0$ than $1/t$ tends to $\infty$. To make this precise, let us proceed as follows.
First note that $\exp(x) \geq 1 + x + \dfrac{x^2}2$ for $x \geq 0$ and $\exp(x) \leq 1 + x + \dfrac{x^2}2$ for $x \leq 0$. For $t \geq 0$,
$$\dfrac{\exp(-1/t)}{t} = \dfrac1{t \exp(1/t)} \leq \dfrac1{t (1 + 1/t + 1/(2t^2))} = \dfrac1{t + 1 + 1/(2t)} = \dfrac{2t}{2t^2 + 2t + 1}$$
Hence, if we let $t \rightarrow 0^+$, we get that
$$0 \leq \lim_{t \rightarrow 0^+} \dfrac{\exp(-1/t)}{t} \leq \lim_{t \rightarrow 0^+} \dfrac{2t}{2t^2 + 2t + 1} = 0$$
Argue similarly, for $t \leq 0$.
A: Hint: Set $x=1/t$. (Also, you need to consider $t \to 0^+$ and $t \to 0^-$ separately.)
A: You are given
$$\lim_{t \to 0} \frac{1}{t}\exp\left({-\frac 1 t}\right)$$
Since $1/t$ behaves oppositely for $0^+$ or $0^-$, we consider both situations. Then we let $x =\dfrac 1 t $ and get
$$\lim_{t \to 0^+} \frac{1}{t}\exp\left({-\frac 1 t}\right)=\lim_{x \to+\infty}xe^{-x}=\lim_{x \to+\infty}\frac x {e^{x}}$$
$$\lim_{t \to 0^-} \frac{1}{t}\exp\left({-\frac 1 t}\right)=\lim_{x \to -\infty}xe^{-x}$$
I guess calculation is now straightforward.
