Answer

$\lim\limits_{x \to 0^+}(1+sin~3x)^{1/x} = e^3$

Work Step by Step

Let $~~y = \lim\limits_{x \to 0^+}(1+sin~3x)^{1/x}$ $ln~y = \lim\limits_{x \to 0^+}ln~(1+sin~3x)^{1/x}$ $ln~y = \lim\limits_{x \to 0^+}\frac{1}{x}~ln~(1+sin~3x)$ $ln~y = \lim\limits_{x \to 0^+}\frac{ln~(1+sin~3x)}{x} = \frac{0}{0}$ We can use L'Hospital's Rule: $ln~y = \lim\limits_{x \to 0^+}\frac{\frac{3~cos~3x}{1+sin~3x}}{1}$ $ln~y = \lim\limits_{x \to 0^+}\frac{3~cos~3x}{1+sin~3x}$ $ln~y = \frac{3}{1}$ $ln~y = 3$ $y = e^3$
