## limits and log

Find lim (n to infinity) xn

xn = (n^2 + log n)/(2n^3 - 1)^(1/2)

 You won't get a 0 in the denominator. You forgot to divide the 1 by n^2.
 if i divide the bottom by n^2 i get (1/n + 1/n^4)

## limits and log

sorry... (1/n - 1/n^4)^(1/2)
 damn, sorry again, i mean (2/n - 1/n^4)^(1/2)
 which becomes 0 as n tends to infinity?
 Recognitions: Homework Help $$\lim_{n\to \infty} x_n = \lim_{n\to\infty} \left( \frac{ 1+ \frac{\log n}{n^2} }{ \sqrt{ \frac{2n^3-1}{n^4}}} \right)$$ Consider separately, what is the numerator tending towards? How about the denominator?
 Try rationalizing the denominator first. Then things get much easier.
