Homework Statement
Would you give me a clue as to how, limit as z approaches infinity,
[[1 + (1/z)]^z]^(1/3) = e^(1/3)

SUMMARY
The limit of the expression \(\left[1 + \frac{1}{z}\right]^z\) as \(z\) approaches infinity is established as \(e\). Consequently, the limit of \(\left[1 + \frac{1}{z}\right]^{z/3}\) simplifies to \(e^{1/3}\). This conclusion is derived directly from the fundamental limit definition of the exponential function. The discussion confirms that no additional proof is necessary beyond understanding the limit of the original expression.
