Evaluate a limit

What have you tried? Where are you stuck? If you tell us these things, we can help you better.
 
Moving from non-bracketed problem 15 to the [MATH]1/3[/MATH] in brackets? Maybe?
 
I assume you're trying to determine [MATH]\lim_{n \to \infty} \{ x_n \}[/MATH]
note ...

[MATH](a-b)(a^2+ab+b^2) = a^3-b^3[/MATH]
let [MATH]a = \sqrt[3]{1+\dfrac{2}{n}}[/MATH] and [MATH]b = 1[/MATH]
... multiply your expression by [MATH]\dfrac{a^2+ab+b^2}{a^2+ab+b^2}[/MATH]

Yeah, i tried it and idk where is my mistake or what i suppose to do next

Your work is correct.

Now take the limit - the denominator should go to 3 as n \(\displaystyle \to \infty \) ..... [& 1/n \(\displaystyle \to \) 0]

Please help. The answer is in the brackets, but how to get there...

Here are a couple of approximations that may help you sometimes:

\(\displaystyle \sqrt{a + b} \ \approx \ \sqrt{a} + \dfrac{1}{2}b\)

\(\displaystyle \sqrt[3]{a + b} \ \approx \ \sqrt[3]{a} + \dfrac{1}{3}b\)

For this problem, a = 1 and b = 2/n for the cube root approximation.

The expression then is approximated by

\(\displaystyle \dfrac{n}{2}\bigg(1 + \dfrac{2}{3n} \ - \ 1 \bigg)\)

Simplify that and then take the limit as n approaches infinity.
