Limit((-5 + x)^(1/(-6 + x)), x, 6)
Detail solution
Let's take the limit
$$\lim_{x \to 6^+} \left(x - 5\right)^{\frac{1}{x - 6}}$$
transform
do replacement
$$u = \frac{1}{x - 6}$$
then
$$\lim_{x \to 6^+} \left(1 + \frac{1}{\frac{1}{x - 6}}\right)^{\frac{1}{x - 6}}$$ =
=
$$\lim_{u \to 6^+} \left(1 + \frac{1}{u}\right)^{u}$$
=
$$\lim_{u \to 6^+} \left(1 + \frac{1}{u}\right)^{u}$$
=
$$\left(\left(\lim_{u \to 6^+} \left(1 + \frac{1}{u}\right)^{u}\right)\right)$$
The limit
$$\lim_{u \to 6^+} \left(1 + \frac{1}{u}\right)^{u}$$
is second remarkable limit, is equal to e ~ 2.718281828459045
then
$$\left(\left(\lim_{u \to 6^+} \left(1 + \frac{1}{u}\right)^{u}\right)\right) = e$$

The final answer:
$$\lim_{x \to 6^+} \left(x - 5\right)^{\frac{1}{x - 6}} = e$$
Lopital's rule
There is no sense to apply Lopital's rule to this function since there is no indeterminateness of 0/0 or oo/oo type
