I don't understand how you get this limit to equal this.

  1. Ask your question and show the work you've done so far. If you've posted a screenshot of a question, specify which part you need help with.
  2. Wait patiently for a helper to come along.
  3. Once someone helps you, say thank you and close the thread with:
    +close
    
  4. Feel free to nominate the person for helper of the week in #helper-nominations
  5. Do not ping the mods, unless someone is breaking the rules.
  6. If you're happy with the help you got here, and the server overall, you can contribute financially as well:

exp(-n log(1+1/n))

(n +1)^n / n^n = (1 + 1/n)^n

#

Which is known to converge to exp(1)

#

Otherwise known as e

#

Then what does n^n / (n +1)^n converge to?

1/e

In general, it is good to know that for a fixed x in R, (1 + x/n)^n converges to exp(x) as n goes to infinity

No I just started from it for convenience

#

if $a_n$ goes to $l \neq 0$, then $\frac{1}{a_n}$ goes to $\frac{1}{l}$ yeah?
