limit as x approaches+0 of (e^{-1x}-1)/x

x \to + 0 lim (\frac{e ^{- 1 x} - 1}{x})

- 1

Solution steps

x \to 0 lim (\frac{e ^{- 1 \cdot x} - 1}{x})

Simplify

= x \to 0 lim (\frac{e ^{- x} - 1}{x})

Apply L'Hopital's Rule

= x \to 0 lim (\frac{- e ^{- x}}{1})

Plug in the value

x = 0

= \frac{- e ^{- 0}}{1}

Simplify

= - 1
