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

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

Other limits x→0, -oo, +oo, 1
$$\lim_{x \to \infty} \left(\frac{x + 1}{x}\right)^{x + 1} = e$$
$$\lim_{x \to 0^-} \left(\frac{x + 1}{x}\right)^{x + 1} = -\infty$$
More at x→0 from the left
$$\lim_{x \to 0^+} \left(\frac{x + 1}{x}\right)^{x + 1} = \infty$$
More at x→0 from the right
$$\lim_{x \to 1^-} \left(\frac{x + 1}{x}\right)^{x + 1} = 4$$
More at x→1 from the left
$$\lim_{x \to 1^+} \left(\frac{x + 1}{x}\right)^{x + 1} = 4$$
More at x→1 from the right
$$\lim_{x \to -\infty} \left(\frac{x + 1}{x}\right)^{x + 1} = e$$
More at x→-oo
