Question
Evaluate the following limit:
$\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow{-1}}\frac{\text{x}^{3}+1}{\text{x}+1}$
$\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow{-1}}\frac{\text{x}^{3}+1}{\text{x}+1}$
$=\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow{-1}}\frac{\text{x}^3-(-1)^3}{\text{x}-(-1)}$ [Dividing numerator and denominator by x - 1]
Applying formula $\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow{\text{a}}}\frac{\text{x}^{\text{n}}-\text{a}^\text{n}}{\text{x}-\text{a}}=\text{na}^{\text{n}-1}$
Here, n = 3, a = -1
$\Rightarrow\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow-1}\frac{\text{x}^3-(-1)^3}{\text{x}-(-1)}=\text{na}^{\text{n}-1}$
$=3(-1)^{3-1}$
$=3(-1)^2$
$=3$

Find the sixth term in the expansion $\Big(\text{y}^{\frac{1}{2}}+\text{x}^{\frac{1}{3}}\Big)^{\text{n}},$ if the binomial coefficient of the term from the end is 45.
