lim⁡x→0+(1−x)1x\lim_{x \to 0^+} \left(1 - x\right)^{\frac{1}{x}} 
Limit((1 - x)^(1/x), x, 0)
Detail solution
Let's take the limit
lim⁡x→0+(1−x)1x\lim_{x \to 0^+} \left(1 - x\right)^{\frac{1}{x}}
transform
do replacement
u=1(−1)xu = \frac{1}{\left(-1\right) x}
then
lim⁡x→0+(1−11x)1x\lim_{x \to 0^+} \left(1 - \frac{1}{\frac{1}{x}}\right)^{\frac{1}{x}} =
=
lim⁡u→0+(1+1u)−u\lim_{u \to 0^+} \left(1 + \frac{1}{u}\right)^{- u}
=
lim⁡u→0+(1+1u)−u\lim_{u \to 0^+} \left(1 + \frac{1}{u}\right)^{- u}
=
((lim⁡u→0+(1+1u)u))−1\left(\left(\lim_{u \to 0^+} \left(1 + \frac{1}{u}\right)^{u}\right)\right)^{-1}
The limit
lim⁡u→0+(1+1u)u\lim_{u \to 0^+} \left(1 + \frac{1}{u}\right)^{u}
is second remarkable limit, is equal to e ~ 2.718281828459045
then
((lim⁡u→0+(1+1u)u))−1=e−1\left(\left(\lim_{u \to 0^+} \left(1 + \frac{1}{u}\right)^{u}\right)\right)^{-1} = e^{-1}

The final answer:
lim⁡x→0+(1−x)1x=e−1\lim_{x \to 0^+} \left(1 - x\right)^{\frac{1}{x}} = e^{-1}
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
