The Attempt at a Solution


Wolfram said the answer was e^2, though i cannot figure out why. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What have you tried ?

lim (1+n^2)^(e/eln(n))
n→∞

lim (1+n^2)^e
n→∞

Is the outer exponent above ##\frac e {eln(n)}##? If so, how did you go from and exponent of ##\frac e {eln(n)}## to an exponent of e? If you "cancel" the factors of e you would be left with an exponent of ##\frac 1 {ln(n)}##, which gets you right back to where you started.
