An example of this type of limit is [tex]\lim_{n \to \infty} n^n = \infty[/tex]

As the base gets larger, and the exponent gets larger, the whole expression gets large without bound (i.e., approaches infinity). There's really nothing tricky about this type of limit, as opposed to one of the indeterminate forms, such as [tex][1]^{\infty}[/tex].
