lim_(x to infty)(x a^(x+1)+1)=1

Explanation:

lim_(x to infty)(x a^(x+1)+1)

By rewrititng a bit,

=lim_(x to infty)(x/(1/a)^(x+1)+1)=lim_(x to infty)(x/(1/a)^(x+1))+1

By l'Hhat("o")pital's Rule,

=lim_(x to infty)1/(ln(1/a)(1/a)^(x+1))+1

(Note: Since a in (0,1) implies that 1/a >1, lim_(x to infty)(1/a)^(x+1)=infty)

=1/infty+1=0+1=1

I hope that this was clear.
