Hi I need help again on my assignment, it's kindda hard...I did do what I could but I can't come up with anything@@" please help
***********
Let F(x)=ln(x). We know that F'(x)=1/x. We will use this fact and the definition of derivatives to show that lim(n->inf) (1+1/n)^n=e
a) Use the definition of the derivative to show that
f'(1)=lim(h->0)(ln(1+h)/h)
b)Show that (a) implies that
ln[lim(h->0)(1+h)^1/h]=1
c) Set h=1/h in (b) and let n-> inf Show that this implies
lim(n->inf) (1+1/n)^n=e
PLEASE HELP[*(]
