SUMMARY
The limit of the function e^(1/(6-x)) as x approaches 6 from the right is definitively 0. This conclusion is reached by analyzing the behavior of the term 1/(6-x), which approaches negative infinity as x approaches 6 from the right. Consequently, e raised to a negative infinity results in 0. Any reference to the limit being e^(17/3) is incorrect, confirming that the book's answer is erroneous.
