Answer

$1$

Work Step by Step

Here, we have $\ln f(x)=x \ln (1+\dfrac{1}{x})$ Now, $e^{\lim\limits_{x \to 0} x \ln (1+\frac{1}{x})}=\dfrac{\infty}{\infty}$ This shows an indeterminate form of limit, thus we will apply L-Hospital's rule such as: $\lim\limits_{x \to \infty} f(x)=\lim\limits_{x \to \infty} \dfrac{p'(x)}{q'(x)}$ $e^{[\lim\limits_{x \to 0} \dfrac{-1/x(x+1)}{-1/x^2}]}=e^{[\lim\limits_{x \to 0} \dfrac{x}{x+1}]}$ and $e^{\frac{0}{0+1}}=1$
