Re: Limits!
hi bobbym
found out that it should be equal to 1/e.
The limit operator is just an excuse for doing something you know you can't.

Re: Limits!
Hi all!
Hi bobbym,
In post #48, were you talking about question 6?
Hi anonimnystefy,
That's correct, very good! Hide your answer!

Re: Limits!
Hi gAr;
Yes, they are doing a strange thing on some of those. Bringing the limit not only through the tangents which is sometimes okay. They are bringing it up to the exponent.
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
Probability is the most important concept in modern science, especially as nobody has the slightest notion what it means.
90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics.

Re: Limits!
Hi bobbym,
I use some "standard" results.
It's useful if someone doesn't know differentiation.
We can apply these if we can reduce to these forms.
But I did not understand what you actually meant!
What would be your approach?

Hi;
I noticed maple in their student package solving like this:
Apply power rule.
L'Hospitals rule.
Now what is that?

Thanks for your solution.
Hi bobbym,
Did it mean to say answer is 1?!

I guess?! I do not get why he brings the limit operator into the exponent!

Yes, it's funny indeed.
Have you checked the other versions of maple?

Hi;
As far as I know it occurs in 12,13 and 14. It is not part of the main package but it is part of student package.

Yes, it is a good package. On some other forums they knock CAS. They are quick to point out when they make a mistake and forget the 1000 times they are right. That type of reasoning is bad.

Hi bobbym,
Yes, people never remember good things and never forget bad things!
Anyway, such an obvious mistake is hard to digest.
Could it be a problem with the installation?!

Re: Limits!
I do not think so. I just think whomever wrote that module for them has a weird understanding of limits. Let me show you another one:
