And as we are operating under traditional limits, and not hyperreal limits--the result stands.If e^-∞ = 0, then e^-(-∞) = 1/e^-∞ = 1/0. But you can not divide by zero.
Nahhhh, none of that is how things work. The function \(\exp(x) : (-\infty,0] \to (0,1]\), which the limit on the boundary as \(x \to -\infty\), tends to the limit on the boundary of codomain. Which is zero. Same principle here.
