Question:

\[ \lim_{x\to0}\frac{e^{\frac{1}{x}}}{e^{\frac{1}{x}}+1}=\,\_ \]

Show Hint

For $e^{1/x}$, always check both sides of zero! It changes behavior from infinite to zero.
  • $e^{0}$
  • 1
  • 0
  • does not exist

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Concept A limit exists only if the left-hand limit (LHL) and right-hand limit (RHL) are equal.

Step 2: Meaning
As $x \to 0^+$, $1/x \to \infty$, so $\frac{e^{\infty}}{e^{\infty}+1}$ behaves like $\frac{e^{\infty}}{e^{\infty}} = 1$.

Step 3: Analysis
As $x \to 0^-$, $1/x \to -\infty$, so $e^{1/x} \to 0$. The limit becomes $\frac{0}{0+1} = 0$.

Step 4: Conclusion
Since RHL (1) $\ne$ LHL (0), the limit does not exist. Final Answer: (D)
