Find the limit $\displaystyle\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}{(1+1/n)^{n^2}e^{-n}}$?

Find the limit $\displaystyle\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}{(1+1/n)^{n^2}e^{-n}}$? I found the limit as $e^{-1/2}$ using l'Hospital rule. I guess I made a mistake. Because the limit seems to be 1. Also, can we find the limit without L'Hospital rule?


Let $$y=\left(1+\frac1n\right)^{n^2}\cdot e^{-n}$$

$$\implies \ln y=n^2\ln\left(1+\frac1n\right)-n$$

$$\text{Putting }n=\frac1h, \lim_{n\to\infty}\ln y=\lim_{h\to0}\frac{\ln(1+h)-h}{h^2}\text{ which is of the form } \frac00$$

Applying L'Hospitals Rule, $$\lim_{h\to0}\frac{\ln(1+h)-h}{h^2}=\lim_{h\to0}\frac{\frac1{1+h}-1}{2h}=\lim_{h\to0}\frac{1-(1+h)}{2h(1+h)}=-\frac12 $$ as $h\ne0$ as $h\to0$

Alternatively, using Taylor expansion of $\ln(1+x)$

$$\lim_{h\to0}\frac{\ln(1+h)-h}{h^2}=\lim_{h\to0}\frac{h-\frac{h^2}2+O(h^3)-h}{h^2}=-\frac12$$
