Let I(ε)=∫_0 ^( ε) ε^(−t) dt      (ε>0)  If u=−t⇒−du=dt  ∴I(ε)=−∫_0 ^( −ε) ε^u du=−(ε^u /(lnε))∣_0 ^(−ε)   I(ε)=−(1/(lnε))(ε^(−ε) −ε^0 )          =(1/(lnε))(1−(1/ε^ε ))  I(ε)=((ε^ε −1)/(lnε^ε^ε  ))  ∴If L=lim_(ε→+∞) I(ε)=lim_(ε→+∞) (1/(lnε))(1−(1/ε^ε ))  L=(lim_(ε→+∞) (1/(lnε)))(lim_(ε→+∞) 1−lim_(ε→+∞) (1/ε^ε ))  L=(((lim_(ε→+∞) 1)/(lim_(ε→+∞) lnε)))(lim_(ε→+∞) 1−((lim_(ε→+∞) 1)/(lim_(ε→+∞) ε^ε )))  ∵ lim_(ε→+∞) 1=1 ,lim_(ε→+∞) lnε=+∞ , lim_(ε→+∞) ε^ε =+∞    ⇒((lim_(ε→+∞) 1)/(lim_(ε→+∞) lnε))=(1/(+∞))=0  lim_(ε→+∞) 1−((lim_(ε→+∞) 1)/(lim_(ε→+∞) ε^ε ))=1−(1/(+∞))=1  ∴ L=0×1=0      Proof of L=lim_(x→+∞) x^x =∞.   Informally,  L=lim_(x→+∞) x^x =lim_(x→+∞) e^(lnx^x )   L=lim_(x→+∞) e^(xlnx) =e^(lim_(x→+∞) xlnx)   L=exp((lim_(x→0)  x)(lim_(x→+∞) lnx))  lim_(x→+∞) lnx=∞, lim_(x→+∞) x=∞  ∴ L=e^(∞×∞) =∞
