<s>[INST] Calculate the limit: $\lim_{x\to+\infty}(\frac{x^2 -x +1}{x^2})^{\frac{-3x^3}{2x^2-1}}$ without de l'Hôpital rule I was wondering how can I calculate the limit:
$$\lim_{x\to+\infty}\left(\frac{x^2 -x +1}{x^2}\right)^{\frac{-3x^3}{2x^2-1}}$$
without de l'Hôpital rule.
I tried to reconduct the limit at the well known one:
$$\lim_{x\to+\infty}\left(1+\frac1x\right)^x = e$$
Now I'm concentrating only on the part of the limit with still the Indeterminate Form, I reached this form elevating $e$ to the neperian logarithm of the function, trying to get rid of the $1^\infty$ I.F.
but, at the end of the day, I could only obtain:
$$\begin{align}\lim_{x\to+\infty}\ln\left(\frac{1}{x^2}(1+x^2-x)\right) &= \lim_{x\to+\infty} \ln\left(\frac{1}{x^2}\right) + \lim_{x\to+\infty} \ln\left(1 + \frac{1}{\frac{1}{x^2-x}}\right) \\&= \lim_{x\to+\infty} \ln\left(\frac{1}{x^2}\right) + \lim_{x\to+\infty} (x^2-x) \ln\left(\left(1 + \frac{1}{\frac{1}{x^2-x}}\right)^{\frac{1}{x^2-x}}\right)\end{align}$$
But then defining  
$$t= \frac{1}{x^2-x}$$
the limit
$$\lim_{t\to 0}  \ln\left(\left(1 + \frac{1}{t}\right)^{t}\right)$$
goes no more to
$$ \ln(e)$$
because now $$t \to 0$$
Can you please give me some help?

I thought it might be instructive to present an approach that uses only the squeeze theorem and elementary inequalities obtained using pre-calculus analysis.  To that end we proced.


In THIS ANSWER
, I showed using only the limit definition of the exponential function and Bernoulli's Inequality that the logarithm function satisfies the inequalities
$$\frac{x-1}{x}\le \log(x)\le x-1\tag1$$
Using $(1)$, it is straightforward to see that 
$$-\frac{x-1}{x^2-x+1}\le \log\left(1-\frac{x-1}{x^2}\right)\le -\frac{x-1}{x^2}\tag 2$$
Multiplying $(2)$ by $\displaystyle -\frac{3x^3}{2x^2-1}$ and inverting the inequality signs accordingly reveals
$$\begin{align}
\underbrace{\left(\frac{3x^3}{2x^2-1}\right)\,\left(\frac{x-1}{x^2}\right)}_{\displaystyle=\frac{3-3/x}{2-1/x^2}}\le -\frac{3x^3}{2x^2-1}\log\left(1-\frac{x-1}{x^2}\right)\le \underbrace{ \left(\frac{3x^3}{2x^2-1}\right)\,\left(\frac{x-1}{x^2-x+1}\right)}_{\displaystyle \frac{3-3/x}{(2-1/x^2)(1-1/x+1/x^2)}}\tag 3
\end{align}$$
Applying the squeeze theorem to $(3)$, we find that 
$$\lim_{x\to \infty }\left(-\frac{3x^3}{2x^2-1}\log\left(1-\frac{x-1}{x^2}\right)\right)=\frac32$$
from which we find by virtue of the continuity of the exponential function that 
$$\begin{align}
\lim_{x\to \infty }\left(\frac{x^2-x+1}{x^2}\right)^{-\frac{3x^3}{2x^2-1}}&=\lim_{x\to \infty }e^{-\frac{3x^3}{2x^2-1}\log\left(1-\frac{x-1}{x^2}\right)}\\\\
&=e^{\lim_{x\to \infty}\left(-\frac{3x^3}{2x^2-1}\log\left(1-\frac{x-1}{x^2}\right)\right)}\\\\
&=e^{3/2}
\end{align}$$
And we are done!
