Answer is e but I need the work that proves that.
Let y= (1+ 1/n)^(n+2)
Ln(y)= (n+2)ln(1+1/n)
= ln[ 1+ 1/n] ] /[1/(n+2)]
now this fraction approaches 0/0, so we apply l'hopital's
-> [1/(1+ 1/n)]* -n^-2
--------------------------
-(n+2)^-2
= [n/(n+1)] (n+2)^2
------------------------
n^2
= n(n+2)^2
---------------
n^2 * (n+1)
-> 1 as n-> infinity
Since lny -> 1
Then y-> e^1
Y-> e
I hope this helps!
