Homework Statement
Limit as p->infinity of ((p^2-p+1)/((P+1)^2)^(2p+3)
In case the parenthesis are confusing, its one giant fraction all raised to the (2p+3) power.
2. The attempt at a solution
I set the entire problem equal to L and took the ln of both sides. This let's me move the power down using a log rule So:
ln(L) = lim p->infinity (2p+3)* ln((p^2-p+1)/((P+1)^2)
Using the log rule of ln(m/n) = ln(m) – ln(n):
lim p-> infinity (2p+3)[ln(p^2-p+1) - 2ln(p+1)]
At this point I am not sure. I think I can put it into a form where I can then use hopital's rule? So:
[ln(p^2-p+1) - 2ln(p+1)] / (1/(2p+3))
Will that help? I took the derivative of top and bottom but its not looking like something I can use.
