Answer

False

Work Step by Step

Let \[f(x)=1+\frac{1}{x}\] \[\Rightarrow \lim_{x\rightarrow \infty}f(x)=1\] and \[g(x)=x\] \[\Rightarrow \lim_{x\rightarrow \infty}g(x)=\infty\] Consider \[\left[f(x)\right]^{g(x)}=\left(1+\frac{1}{x}\right)^x\] \[\Rightarrow \lim_{x\rightarrow \infty}\left(1+\frac{1}{x}\right)^x=e^{\lim_{x\rightarrow \infty}x\left[1+\frac{1}{x}-1\right]}\] \[\Rightarrow \lim_{x\rightarrow \infty}\left(1+\frac{1}{x}\right)^x=e\neq 1\]
