Math Help Forum: Stuck on a limit problem

********************

Evaluate the limit.

limit as x approaches infinity of

(1 + p/x)^qx

********************

Okay so far this is what I've gotten.

y = (1 + p/x)^qx

lny = ln(1 + p/x)^qx

lny = qxln(1 + p/x)

limit as x approaches infinity of lny =

limit as x approaches infinity of qxln(1 + p/x)

= limit as x approaches infinity of qln(1 + p/x) / (1/x) = 0/0 indeterminate

If this is wrong please guide me step by step on how to solve this problem as it maybe on my exam tomorrow.

rewrite this as

Like i said... if i was wrong then please tell me step by step how to solve it. I'm completely lost at this point.

I need to learn this type of problem for an exam in the morning

Thanks again
