Lim x-> +0 ((e^(-1/x))/xª)) 

I need to know what this limit approaches as "a" varies

The limit is zero for any value of $a$ as the exponetial functions decays faster than any polynomial.

    So I wouldn't get an indeterminate form of 0/0 ? Thank you in advance

      The limit is of type 0/0, but it converges to zero for any value of a.

    Oh okay and this is because the 0 of x is insignificant compared to the 0 of the exponential ?

      Yes, e^{-1/x} decays faster than any polynomial.
