Investigate a Limit

[nycmathdad]

Use a table to investigate the limit of (1+ x)^(1/x) as x tends to 0.

To form my table, I place the value x is approaching in the center and then select values to the right and left that are close to 0.

Yes?

What values close to zero can I select to evaluate the given function?
