Welcome |
                     
      
Exercise 2: Calculate the limit  .
Solution:
We divide the numerator and the denominator by the highest power of variable n appearing in the denominator. We divide the numerator and the denominator by n3

.

Please note that all the sequences appearing in the numerator and denominator are finite limits. Then  in accordance with theorm of  If  is a real number, then

 

We have

 

Thus we can apply the theorem: If  a sequence has limit  a, and a sequence has limit b ( where ), then and , for , thus
