Approximating function for the natural exponential function
Formulation 2
Let $f, g : \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ each be a D4364: Real function such that
(i) $x_0, \lambda \in \mathbb{R}$ are each a D993: Real number
(ii) \begin{equation} \lim_{x \to x_0} f(x) = 0 \end{equation}
(iii) \begin{equation} \lim_{x \to x_0} g(x) = \infty \end{equation}
(iv) \begin{equation} \lim_{x \to x_0} f(x) g(x) = \lambda \end{equation}
Then \begin{equation} \lim_{x \to x_0} (1 + f(x))^{g(x)} = e^{\lambda} \end{equation}
