Step-by-step solution for a limit failed to work

Posted 10 months ago

I try to get the step-by-step solution for a limit as follows, but failed:

In[2]:= WolframAlpha["Limit[((x + E^x)^(1/x) - E^2 + 3/2 E^2 x)/x^2, \
x -> 0]", IncludePods -> "Input", AppearanceElements -> {"Pods"}, 
PodStates -> {"Input__Show steps"}]

Out[2]= \!\(
NamespaceBox["WolframAlphaQueryResults",
DynamicModuleBox[{Typeset`q$$ = 
"Limit[((x + E^x)^(1/x) - E^2 + 3/2 E^2 x)/x^2, x -> 0]", 
Typeset`opts$$ = {AppearanceElements -> {"Pods"}, 
IncludePods -> "Input", PodStates -> {"Input__Show steps"}}, 
Typeset`elements$$ = {"Pods"}, Typeset`asyncpods$$ = {}, 
Typeset`nonpods$$ = {}, Typeset`initdone$$ = 
FrontEnd`SuppressEvaluationHash[True], 
Typeset`queryinfo$$ = {"success" -> "true",

ImageSizeCache->{20., {11.1875, 16.8125}},

initdone$$ = FrontEnd`SuppressEvaluationHash[True]],

Any tips for this problem will be helpful.

What I want to know is how to do it manually and step-by-step.

POSTED BY: Hongyi Zhao

I do not know whether the step-by-step should work on this. One reasonable way to see why the limit is as claimed is to expand (x + E^x)^(1/x) as a series of order 1 at the origin.

Sorry, I tried again now, and the limit is correct. I don't know what happened.

I tried in Mathematica 13.3.0 on Windows 10 give me:

 Limit[((x + E^x)^(1/x) - E^2 + 3/2 E^2 x)/x^2, x -> 0]
 (*(71 E^2)/24*)

Very strange. In Mathematica 13.3 the following

Limit[((x + E^x)^(1/x) - E^2 + 3/2 E^2 x)/x^2,
  x -> 0]

gives Indeterminate, contradicted by

Asymptotic[((x + E^x)^(1/x) - E^2 + 3/2 E^2 x)/x^2,
  x -> 0]
ComplexPlot3D[((x + E^x)^(1/x) - E^2 + 3/2 E^2 x)/x^2,
 {x, (-1 - I)/3, (1 + I)/3}]
