  .

Solution:
We divide numerator and denominator by the highest power of variable n appearing in the denominator. We divide numerator and denominator by n5. We have

In accordance with theorm of  If  is a real number, then

  we have

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

and , for , therefore
