I don't know what to do with radicals in limits. For example, is it obvious that $ \lim_{n\to \infty}\left(\sqrt[n]{c}\right)=1$ where c is a constant?
I am facing with something extremely hard for me. Like that:
$$\lim_{n\to \infty}\left( \frac{\sqrt[n]{n^3}+\sqrt[n]{7}}{3\sqrt[n]{n^2}+\sqrt[n]{3n}} \right)$$
L'Hôpital's rule is prohibited here.
Answer
Hint: Apply the following limit.
Proof that $\boldsymbol{\lim\limits_{n\to\infty}n^{\frac1n}=1}$
For $n\ge e$,
$$
\begin{align}
\frac{(n+1)^{\frac1{n+1}}}{n^{\frac1n}}
&=\frac{\left(1+\frac1n\right)^{\frac1{n+1}}}{n^{\frac1{n(n+1)}}}\tag{1}\\
&\le\frac{1+\frac1{n(n+1)}}{n^{\frac1{n(n+1)}}}\tag{2}\\[9pt]
&\le1\tag{3}
\end{align}
$$
Explanation
$(1)$: divide numerator and denominator by $n^{\frac1{n+1}}$
$(2)$: Bernoulli's Inequality
$(3)$: $e^x\ge1+x$
Thus, for $n\ge3$, $n^{\frac1n}$ is a decreasing function bounded below by $1$. Therefore, $a=\lim\limits_{n\to\infty}n^{\frac1n}$ exists and is not less than $1$.
$$
\begin{align}
a
&=\lim_{n\to\infty}(2n)^{\frac1{2n}}\tag{4}\\
&=\lim_{n\to\infty}2^{\frac1{2n}}\left(\lim_{n\to\infty}n^{\frac1n}\right)^{\frac12}\tag{5}\\[6pt]
&=1\cdot a^{\frac12}\tag{6}\\[12pt]
&=1\tag{7}
\end{align}
$$
Explanation:
$(4)$: limit of every other term is the limit of every term
$(5)$: product of limits is the limit of the product
$(6)$: Bernoulli's Inequality says $2^{\frac1{2n}}=(1+1)^{\frac1{2n}}\le1+\frac1{2n}$
$(7)$: multiply the reciprocal of the left side of $(4)$ by the square of $(6)$
