Is n an integer?

@Aareyan Manzoor – Not π times but 4 times so that exponent of x turns negative. :) Ps. I would like to apply it π times if you let me know how to.

@Rohit Ner – Exactly, now add this to your solution, nice one btw.
I saw it as e^x grows faster than any other polynomial. It would approach 0 as the denominator grows faster than the numerator.
There are many ways to do this problem. I did it by repeated use of L'hospital.
Let L = x → ∞ lim e x x n
On differentiating the numerator and denominator n times, we get
L = x → ∞ lim e x n ! = 0
For MCQ lovers:
Since n is any constant, you can take n = 1 . Then you'll have to differentiate it only once.
Now the problem arises if n is very large. Then the limit would be infinity.
For MCQ lovers: The answer becomes obvious if n is negative ;)
