# Find $\lim\limits_{\substack{x\to\infty\\y\to0\,\,}}\left(1+\frac{1}{x}\right)^{\frac{x^2}{x+y}}$ [closed]

I have to solve the following limit:

\begin{align*} \lim_{\substack{x\to\infty\\y\to0\,\,}}\left(1+\frac{1}{x}\right)^{\frac{x^2}{x+y}} &= \lim_{\substack{x\to\infty\\y\to0\,\,}}\left\{\left[\left(1+\frac{1}{x}\right)^x\;\right]^\frac{x^2}{x+y}\right\}^\frac{1}{x}\\ &= \lim_{\substack{x\to\infty\\y\to0\,\,}} e\cdot\frac{x}{x+y}\\ &=e \end{align*} Paint.

So, this is the solution I got. Is everything correct?

$$\lim_{\substack{x\to\infty\\y\to\infty}}\frac{\exp\left\{-\dfrac{1}{x^2+y^2}\right\}}{x^4+y^4}.$$ Paint2.

Can you guys help me find a solution?

Thanks!

• I appreciate the effort, but please, don't every use paint again. Review the edit. Formatting tips here. – Em. Mar 16 '16 at 19:05
• Got it! Thanks! – snitchben Mar 16 '16 at 19:06
• Also, I used $\exp$ instead of $e$ for legibility. As Jan writes $\exp (x) = e^x$. – Em. Mar 16 '16 at 19:07
• Thanks probablyme! Do you have any idea on the second limit? – snitchben Mar 16 '16 at 19:09
• It's ok haha. I wish I didn't have to do calculus too – snitchben Mar 16 '16 at 19:12

$$\lim_{x\to\infty}\left[\lim_{y\to0}\left[\left(1+\frac{1}{x}\right)^{\frac{x^2}{x+y}}\right]\right]=\lim_{x\to\infty}\left[\lim_{y\to0}\left[\exp\left[\ln\left(\left(1+\frac{1}{x}\right)^{\frac{x^2}{x+y}}\right)\right]\right]\right]=$$ $$\lim_{x\to\infty}\left[\lim_{y\to0}\left[\exp\left[\frac{x^2\ln\left(1+\frac{1}{x}\right)}{x+y}\right]\right]\right]=\lim_{x\to\infty}\left[\exp\left[\lim_{y\to0}\frac{x^2\ln\left(1+\frac{1}{x}\right)}{x+y}\right]\right]=$$ $$\lim_{x\to\infty}\exp\left[\frac{x^2\ln\left(1+\frac{1}{x}\right)}{x+0}\right]=\exp\left[\lim_{x\to\infty}\frac{x^2\ln\left(1+\frac{1}{x}\right)}{x}\right]=$$ $$\exp\left[\lim_{x\to\infty}\frac{x\ln\left(1+\frac{1}{x}\right)}{1}\right]=\exp\left[\lim_{x\to\infty}x\ln\left(1+\frac{1}{x}\right)\right]=$$

Applying l'Hôpital's rule, to get:

$$\exp\left[\lim_{x\to\infty}\frac{1}{1+\frac{1}{x}}\right]=\exp\left[\frac{1}{1+0}\right]=\exp\left[1\right]=e^1=e$$

• Thanks Jan, but I think I haven't learnt this method yet. I don't know what exp is, so I am not allowed to use it – snitchben Mar 16 '16 at 19:03
• @snitchben $\exp(x)=e^x$ – Jan Mar 16 '16 at 19:04

Hint for the second one: The expression is $\le 1/(x^4+y^4).$

• Thanks zhw., but I don't understand what you mean – snitchben Mar 16 '16 at 19:12
• If $a\ge 0,$ then $e^{-a}\le 1.$ Also, please answer my question above. – zhw. Mar 16 '16 at 19:38
