Answer

1\mathbf{1}

Step-by-step solution

3 steps
  1. Evaluate the exponent of the exponential function as xx approaches −∞-\infty.

    Let u=1xu = \frac{1}{x}.
    As x→−∞x \to -\infty, the value of 1x\frac{1}{x} approaches 0. Specifically, since xx is negative, 1x\frac{1}{x} approaches 0 from the negative side (0−0^-).

  2. Substitute the new limit variable into the expression.

    The original limit can be rewritten in terms of uu:

    lim⁡u→0−eu\lim_{u \to 0^-} e^u
  3. Evaluate the exponential function at the limit point.

    The exponential function eue^u is continuous everywhere. Therefore, we can directly substitute the limit value into the function.

    e0=1e^0 = 1

    The final answer is 1\mathbf{1}.
