<s>[INST] Help finding the $\lim\limits_{x \to \infty} \frac{\sqrt[3]{x} - \sqrt[5]{x}}{\sqrt[3]{x} + \sqrt[5]{x}}$ I need help finding the $$\lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{\sqrt[3]{x} - \sqrt[5]{x}}{\sqrt[3]{x} + \sqrt[5]{x}}$$
I did the following:
$$\begin{align*}
\lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{\sqrt[3]{x} - \sqrt[5]{x}}{\sqrt[3]{x} + \sqrt[5]{x}}
=& \lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{(\sqrt[3]{x} - \sqrt[5]{x})(\sqrt[3]{x} + \sqrt[5]{x})}{(\sqrt[3]{x} + \sqrt[5]{x})(\sqrt[3]{x} + \sqrt[5]{x})}\\
\\
=& \lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{(\sqrt[3]{x})^2 - (\sqrt[5]{x})^2}{(\sqrt[3]{x})^2+2\sqrt[3]{x}\sqrt[5]{x}+(\sqrt[3]{x})^2}\\
\\
=& \lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{x^{2/3}-x^{2/5}}{x^{2/3}+2x^{1/15}+x^{2/5}}\\
\\
=& \lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{x^{4/15}}{2x^{17/15}}
\end{align*}$$
Somehow I get stuck. I am sure I did something wrong somewhere.. Can someone please help me out?
 [/INST] $$F=\lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{\sqrt[3]x - \sqrt[5]x}{\sqrt[3]x + \sqrt[5]x}=\lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{x^{\frac13} - x^{\frac15}}{x^{\frac13} + x^{\frac15}}$$
As lcm$(3,5)=15$ I will set $\displaystyle x^{\frac1{15}}=y\implies x^{\frac13}=y^5$ and $\displaystyle x^{\frac15}=y^3$
$$\implies F=\lim_{y\to\infty}\frac{y^5-y^3}{y^5+y^3}$$
Setting $\frac1y=h,$
$$F=\lim_{h\to0}\frac{(1-h^2)h^3}{(1+h^2)h^3}=\lim_{h\to0}\frac{1-h^2}{1+h^2}$$ the cancellation of $h$ is legal as $h\ne0$ as $h\to0$
