To find the limit for the given equation, factoring the expression (1-1/k²) is essential for simplification. The user suggests using the difference of squares formula, (a² - b²) = (a-b)(a+b), to aid in the cancellation process. By substituting values of k and writing down the initial terms, the cancellation becomes evident. This step-by-step approach helps clarify the limit calculation. Understanding these techniques is crucial for successfully finding limits in similar equations.

I'm trying to find a limit for this equation:

Now I understand I can factor (1-1/k^2) and look for cancellation, but I just can't figure out how to do that in this case.

Do the (a² - b²) = (a-b)(a+b) bit, then substitute in values of k and write down the first few terms multiplied together.
You will see the cancelling out.
