$lim_{x\to0^+} (1+sin(4x))^(cot(x)) = e^4$ .

$y=(1+sin(4x))^(cot(x))$
$ln(y)=cot(x)ln(1+sin(4x)$ ,
$ln(y)=ln(1+sin(4x))/(tan(x))$ .

Then $lim_{x\to0^+} ln(y)$ is in the indeterminate form $0/0$ .

By L'Hopitals rule, if $f(a)=g(a)=0$ then $lim_{x\toa} (f(a))/(g(a)) = lim_{x\toa} (f'(a))/(g'(a))$ .

Then,

$lim_{x\to0^+} ln(y) = lim_{x\to0^+} ((4cos(4x))/(1+sin(4x)))/(sec^2(x))$ ,
$lim_{x\to0^+} ln(y) = 4$ .

Then taking an inverse logarithm,

$lim_{x\to0^+} y = e^4$ .
