lim n-> infinity of:

(n^4 + n^2 + 1)^0.5 - n^2 -1


sin(2/n)/(1/n)


(ln(n) + e^n)/(2^n + n^2)


If anyone could explain the processes required to obtain the limits of any.. (or all) of these statements, that would be great

In the first one, you could multiply the expression by its conjugate.

For the second one, recall the identity lim t->0 sin(t) /t = 1. (substitute 2/n = t as t->0)

For the third one, just apply l'hopital's rule several times.
 
Since this is your homework, try before you ask for help and then show what you have tried.
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
