The Attempt at a Solution

The first thing I tried was to put the expression all into one term.
so I got $$\frac{-n^2 + 3n - 1}{n^3 - 2n^2 + n}$$
Unfortunately, I'm not sure where to go next with this... I assume it has to do with n >> 1. But I really don't see how they get 2/n^3 if anything I would think -1/n ...

How did you get your expression (in "attempt at a solution" section)? Did you try to get a common denominator?

 

[Redbelly98]

Wait, I see your problem.

The 2nd term in the original expression is 1/n², not 1/n

My apologies, I just realized I did the incorrect substitution from the original problem. I incorrectly transcribed 1/n. It should have been 1/n^2.

I figured it out now, thanks.
