Answer

$\approx 7.39=e^2$

Work Step by Step

We have to evaluate the limit: $\lim\limits_{h \to 0} f(h)$, where $f(h)=(1+2h)^{1/h}$ We compute the value of the function $f$ for values of $h$ close to 0: $f(0.01)\approx 7.2446461$ $f(0.001)\approx 7.3743124$ $f(0.0001)\approx 7.3875786$ $f(-0.01)\approx 7.5403661$ $f(-0.001)\approx 7.4038688$ $f(-0.0001)\approx 7.3905343$ We got $\lim\limits_{h \to 0} f(h)\approx 7.39=e^2$
