limit as x approaches 0 of (1-2x)^{5/x}

x \to 0 lim ((1 - 2 x)^{\frac{5}{x}})

\frac{1}{e ^{10}}

Decimal

0.00004 \dots

Solution steps

x \to 0 lim ((1 - 2 x)^{\frac{5}{x}})

Apply exponent rules

= x \to 0 lim (e^{\frac{5}{x} l n (1 - 2 x)})

Apply the Limit Chain Rule:

\frac{1}{e ^{10}}

= \frac{1}{e ^{10}}
