[Community Question] Calculus: Why $\left( 1 + \frac{1}{x} \right)^x = 1 + x\frac{1}{x} + \frac{x(x-1)}{2}\cdot \frac{1}{x^2} + \dots $

One of our user asked:

How does one get the following expansion :

$$\lim_{x \to \infty} \left( 1 + \frac{1}{x} \right)^x = \lim_{x \to \infty} \left( 1 + x\frac{1}{x} + \frac{x(x-1)}{2}\cdot \frac{1}{x^2} + \dots \right)$$

[Community Question] Calculus: calculating 2 constants in a function

One of our user asked: $$M=\{f\in C[0,2\pi],\int_{0}^{2\pi}f(x)sinxdx=\pi,\int_{0}^{2\pi}f(x)sin2xdx=2\pi\} $$ $a,b\in \mathbb R, g\in M, g(x)=asinx+bsin2x,x\in [0,2\pi]$ I've read on the answers that $a=1,b=2$ and I don't know how to calculate them. Can somebody explain me,please? By the way, the problem is to determine $ \int_{0}^{2\pi}(g(x))^2 dx$ so you have to first get the constants $a$ and $b$ .

Calculus: A difficulty in understanding a step in a solution.

Here is the solution: But I could not understand how the last term in the fourth line came from the line before it, could anyone explain this for me please?
