$\displaystyle \large \lim_{x \,\to\, a} \, {\normalsize {f{(x)}}^{g{(x)}}}$ $\,=\,$ $\displaystyle \large \lim_{x \,\to\, a} \, {\normalsize {f{(x)}}^{\, \displaystyle \large \lim_{x \,\to\, a} \, {\normalsize g{(x)}}}}$
It is a property of power rule, used to find the limit of an exponential function whose base and exponent are in a function form.
$x$ is a variable and two functions $f{(x)}$ and $g{(x)}$ are defined in terms of $x$. The limits of $f{(x)}$ and $g{(x)}$ as $x$ closer to $a$ are written mathematically in calculus as follows.
$(1) \,\,\,\,\,\,$ $\displaystyle \large \lim_{x \,\to\, a}{\normalsize f{(x)}}$ $\,=\,$ $f{(a)}$
$(2) \,\,\,\,\,\,$ $\displaystyle \large \lim_{x \,\to\, a}{\normalsize g{(x)}}$ $\,=\,$ $g{(a)}$
Assume, the functions $f{(x)}$ and $g{(x)}$ are formed a function in exponential form.
${f{(x)}}^{g{(x)}}$
Now, find the limit of this exponential function as $x$ approaches $a$.
$\displaystyle \large \lim_{x \,\to\, a} \, {\normalsize {f{(x)}}^{g{(x)}}}$
Find the limit of the exponential function by substituting $x$ by $a$.
$= \,\,\, {f{(a)}}^{g{(a)}}$
The limits of functions $f{(x)}$ and $g{(x)}$ as $x$ tends to $a$ are $f{(a)}$ and $g{(a)}$ respectively. Therefore, it can be written that $f{(a)}$ and $g{(a)}$ as the limits of functions $f{(x)}$ and $g{(x)}$ respectively.
$\implies {f{(a)}}^{g{(a)}}$ $\,=\,$ $\displaystyle \large \lim_{x \,\to\, a} \, {\normalsize {f{(x)}}^{\, \displaystyle \large \lim_{x \,\to\, a} \, {\normalsize g{(x)}}}}$
Actually, the value of $f{(a)}$ is raised to the power of $g{(a)}$ is determined as the limit of the $f{(x)}$ is raised to the power of $g{(x)}$ as $x$ closer to $a$.
$\,\,\, \therefore \,\,\,\,\,\,$ $\displaystyle \large \lim_{x \,\to\, a} \, {\normalsize {f{(x)}}^{g{(x)}}}$ $\,=\,$ $\displaystyle \large \lim_{x \,\to\, a} \, {\normalsize {f{(x)}}^{\, \displaystyle \large \lim_{x \,\to\, a} \, {\normalsize g{(x)}}}}$
Therefore, the limit property is proved that the limit of $f{(x)}$ is raised to the power of $g{(x)}$ as $x$ approaches $a$ equals to the limit of $f{(x)}$ as $x$ approaches $a$ is raised to the power of the limit of $g{(x)}$ as $x$ closer to $a$.
The limit rule is completely in exponential notation. So, it is called as the power rule of limit in calculus.
