Homework Statement



Lim (3^x+4^x)/(7^x) x -> ∞

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



I broke the limit up into two parts:

Lim (3^x)/(7^x) x -> ∞ + Lim (4^x)/(7^x) x -> ∞

However, I don't know where to go from here.

Note that ##\frac{3^x}{7^x} = (\frac{3}{7})^x##.

What's the limit of ##a^x## where ##0 < a < 1## as x goes to infinity?
