e^4

Explanation:

lim_(x -> oo) ((x+3)/(x-1))^(x+3)

I shall use lim_(hrarroo)(1+1/h)^h = e.

Let t=x-1, so that x+3 = t+4 and we need to find

lim_(trarroo) ((t+4)/t)^(t+4) = lim_(trarroo) (1+4/t)^t * lim_(trarroo) (1+4/t)^4

= lim_(trarroo) ((1+1/(t/4))^(t/4))^4 * 1^4

= lim_(trarroo) ((1+1/(t/4))^(t/4))^4

= (lim_(trarroo) (1+1/(t/4))^(t/4))^4

= e^4
