I made this problem.

Calculate this:

limx0+{1[1(xx)]x}x\displaystyle \lim_ {x \to 0^+}\{1 - [1 - (x^x)]^x \}^x



You may use limx0+(xx) = 1.\displaystyle You \ may \ use \ \lim_{x \to 0^+}(x^x) \ = \ 1.
 
Seems to be screaming for the binomial theorem.
 

Hints:
-------

For 0 < x < 1, x^x < 1 . . . . . . Why?

As x approaches 0 from the right, (1 - x^x) approaches 0 from above . . . . . Why?


Then limx0(1xx)x is of the form of\displaystyle Then \ \lim_{x \to 0} (1 - x^x)^x \ is \ of \ the \ form \ of **
