SUMMARY
The discussion clarifies that the two limits, \(\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{8^{n-1}}{9^{n}}\) and \(\frac{1}{9}\lim_{n\to\infty}(\frac{8}{9})^{n}\), are equivalent. The presence of \(\frac{1}{9}\) in the second limit arises from the factorization of the first limit, demonstrating that both expressions converge to the same value as \(n\) approaches infinity. This equivalence highlights the importance of understanding limit properties in calculus.
