$lim_{x \to 0} {(\frac{1}{x})}^{x}$

Step 1

Use the properties of logarithms to simplify the limit.

Step 1.1

Rewrite ${(\frac{1}{x})}^{x}$ as $e^{\ln ({(\frac{1}{x})}^{x})}$ .

$lim_{x \to 0} e^{\ln ({(\frac{1}{x})}^{x})}$

Step 1.2

Expand $\ln ({(\frac{1}{x})}^{x})$ by moving $x$ outside the logarithm.

$lim_{x \to 0} e^{x \ln (\frac{1}{x})}$

Step 2

Because there are no values to the left of $0$ in the domain of $e^{x \ln (\frac{1}{x})}$ , the limit does not exist.

$Does not exist$
