# $1^\infty$-Limit Cases

This is to prove that if $\displaystyle \lim_{x \to \infty} f(x) = 1$ and $\displaystyle \lim_{x \to \infty} g(x) = \infty$, then $\displaystyle \lim_{x \to \infty} f(x)^{g(x)} = e^{\lim_{x \to \infty} g(x)(f(x) - 1)}$.

\begin{aligned} \lim_{x \to \infty} f(x)^{g(x)} & = \lim_{x \to \infty} \left(1+f(x)-1\right)^{g(x)} \\ & = \lim_{x \to \infty} \left(1+\frac 1{\frac 1{f(x)-1}} \right)^{g(x)\left(\frac {f(x)-1}{f(x)-1}\right)} \\ & = \lim_{x \to \infty} \left[\left(1+\frac 1{\frac 1{f(x)-1}} \right)^\frac 1{f(x)-1}\right]^{g(x)(f(x)-1)} \\ & = \lim_{x \to \infty} e^{g(x)(f(x)-1)} \\ & = e^{\lim_{x \to \infty} g(x)(f(x)-1)} \end{aligned}

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

• Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
• Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
• Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.

Boards mein kuch ni rkha h bro. Thoda padhlio obviously, kyuki aas pados wale puchte hai. Baaki computer language seekh le,agar accha lgta hai, continue with that. It will help a lot in future.
