Hey

Ah ye "a" is an positive constant (sorry forgot to say that), but thx for the reply and that should solve my problem :)

Hi, How can you find the limit without knowing what a is? Also you have square brackets where they should be round and you should use lower case so you don't bump into reserved symbols.

In[11]:= Limit[de (1 - Exp[-a (r - re)])^2, r -> Infinity, 
 Assumptions -> a < 0]

Out[11]= ComplexInfinity

In[12]:= Limit[de (1 - Exp[-a (r - re)])^2, r -> Infinity, 
 Assumptions -> a > 0]

Out[12]= de
