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

The final answer:
$$\lim_{n \to \infty} \left(1 + \frac{5}{n}\right)^{n} = e^{5}$$
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
