I've shown $\lim_{n\to\infty}\sqrt[n]{n}=e$, but it should be $1$. Where's the mistake? $$\lim_{n\to \infty} \sqrt[n] n = \lim_{n\to \infty} n^{\frac{1}{n}} = \lim_{n \to \infty} \{(1+(n-1))^{\frac{1}{n-1}}\}{^{(n-1)\frac{1}{n}}} = \lim_{n\to \infty} e^{\frac{n-1}{n}} = e$$
But this clearly isn't true as the actual limit is $1$.
Where did I go wrong? 
 A: Notice, your answer is incorrect. your mistake  $\lim_{n\to \infty}\left(1+(n-1)\right)^{1/(n-1)}\ne e$ . Follow the method as  $$\lim_{n\to \infty}\sqrt[n]{n}=\lim_{n\to \infty}n^{1/n}=\exp\lim_{n\to \infty}\frac 1n \ln(n)$$
Applying L-Hospital's rule for $\frac {\infty}{\infty}$ form,
$$=\exp\lim_{n\to \infty}\frac{\frac{1}{n}}{1}$$
$$=\exp\lim_{n\to \infty}\frac{1}{n}$$$$=e^0=\color{red}{1}$$
A: You can do it using another way $$A=n^{\frac 1n}\implies \log(A)=\frac {\log(n)}n$$ and you know that $\log(n)$ is "slower" than $n$. So, $\log(A)\to 0$ and then $A\to 1$.
A: This is a wrong answer because you do $(1 + \infty)^{(1/ \infty)}$ is $e$ but Euler defined this limit by $(1+(\text{something that go to zero}))^{(1/\text{the something in the base that go to zero})} = e$, and that for why your answer wrong.
A: $$\lim_{m\to\infty}\left(1+\dfrac1m\right)^m=e$$
not
$$\lim_{u\to\infty}\left(1+u\right)^{1/u}= e$$
Let $A=\lim_{u\to\infty}\left(1+u\right)^{1/u}\implies\ln A=\lim_{u\to\infty}\dfrac{\ln(1+u)}u=\lim_{u\to\infty}\dfrac1{1+u}=0$ (Using L'Hôpital's Rule)
$\implies A=e^0$
