You don't need to apply that Rule, just remember that

\forall\,x\in\mathbb R,\,\lim_{n\to\infty}\left(1+\frac xn\right)^n=e^{x}.

And,

\lim_{x \to \infty } \left( {1 + \frac{7}{x}} \right)^{x/5} = \lim_{x \to \infty } \left[ {\left( {1 + \frac{7}{x}} \right)^x } \right]^{1/5}

When I solve it, I get [1 + (Infinity / Infinity)]. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
