SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on solving limits without using L'Hospital's Rule, emphasizing the importance of fundamental limits in calculus. Participants highlight the limit $\displaystyle \lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} (1 + \frac{1}{n})^{n} = e$ as a rigorous approach. The conversation also touches on the alternative methods such as Taylor expansion, but advocates for the fundamental limits for their rigor. The final conclusion suggests that the limit evaluates to $2\ln(10)$.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of fundamental limits in calculus
  • Familiarity with L'Hospital's Rule
  • Knowledge of Taylor expansion techniques
  • Basic concepts of logarithms and their properties
NEXT STEPS

Excellent!... of course l'Hopital's rule or Taylor expansion is more comfortable but the use of the 'fundamental limits' [in Your case $\displaystyle \lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} (1 + \frac{1}{n})^{n} = e$...] is allwais more 'rigorous'...

Kind regards$\chi$ $\sigma$

Oh yeah! I forgot the fundamental limit :s, so is =2ln(10)...
Thanks

Evaluate it using L'Hospital rule and verify your result .
