Find the limit using l'Hospital's Rule.
lim(as x approaches to 0+)13(x)e^(1/x)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Introduce new variable t = 1/x.


Then the function takes the form  g(t) = %2813%2Ft%29%2Ae%5Et.


It is well known fact that the exponent  e%5Et  rises much faster than any polynomial;

therefore,  lim (as t --> oo)  %2813%2Ft%29%2Ae%5Et  = oo  (infinity).


It implies  that  lim (as x approaches to 0+)  of  13%28x%29e%5E%281%2Fx%29+  is  oo  (infinity).    ANSWER

This proof is done without using the l'Hopital rule, simply using well known facts
from Calculus about the rate of rising of basic elementary functions.
