Homework Statement
find the limit as x tends to 0:
lim x^2/(5th-root(1+5x)-(1+x))
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
Let y=5th-root(1+5x), so now the limit tends to 1 and the limit is now:
lim (y^5-1)^2/(25(y-1-y^5/5+1/5)
= lim (y^10-2y^5+1)/(25y-25-5y^2+5)
This is where i got stuck.
any help would be very much appreciated.
(Note, i don't want to use L'hospital's rule)
