The correct Answer is:
To solve the given problem, we will analyze both statements separately. ### Statement I: **Evaluate** \( \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{1}{x} \) 1. **Substituting the limit**: When we directly substitute \( x = 0 \) into \( \frac{1}{x} \), we get \( \frac{1}{0} \), which is undefined. 2. **Analyzing the limit from both sides**: - As \( x \) approaches 0 from the positive side (i.e., \( x \to 0^+ \)), \( \frac{1}{x} \) approaches \( +\infty \). - As \( x \) approaches 0 from the negative side (i.e., \( x \to 0^- \)), \( \frac{1}{x} \) approaches \( -\infty \). 3. **Conclusion**: Since the left-hand limit and the right-hand limit do not agree (one approaches \( +\infty \) and the other \( -\infty \)), the limit \( \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{1}{x} \) does not exist. ### Statement II: **Evaluate** \( \lim_{x \to 0} e^{\frac{1}{x}} \) 1. **Substituting the limit**: When we substitute \( x = 0 \), we get \( e^{\frac{1}{0}} \), which is \( e^{\infty} \) or \( e^{-\infty} \) depending on the direction from which we approach 0. 2. **Analyzing the limit from both sides**: - As \( x \) approaches 0 from the positive side (i.e., \( x \to 0^+ \)), \( \frac{1}{x} \) approaches \( +\infty \), thus \( e^{\frac{1}{x}} \) approaches \( e^{+\infty} = +\infty \). - As \( x \) approaches 0 from the negative side (i.e., \( x \to 0^- \)), \( \frac{1}{x} \) approaches \( -\infty \), thus \( e^{\frac{1}{x}} \) approaches \( e^{-\infty} = 0 \). 3. **Conclusion**: Since the left-hand limit and the right-hand limit do not agree (one approaches \( +\infty \) and the other \( 0 \)), the limit \( \lim_{x \to 0} e^{\frac{1}{x}} \) does not exist. ### Final Conclusion: - Statement I is **incorrect**: \( \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{1}{x} \) does not exist. - Statement II is **correct**: \( \lim_{x \to 0} e^{\frac{1}{x}} \) does not exist. ### Answer: Only Statement II is correct. ---
