SUMMARY
The limit of the functions cos(x), sin(x), and e^{ix} as x approaches infinity is 0. The discussion clarifies that e^{ix} is bounded, with both its real and imaginary components not exceeding 1. Additionally, the limit of the expression (1+x)^i as x tends to infinity is also addressed, confirming that e^{(i-1)x} approaches zero due to the e^{-x} component dominating the behavior of the function.
