Limit of a sequence with floor function.

How do I compute the following limit: $lim limits_{n to infty} frac{n +
lfloor sqrt[3]nrfloor^3}{n - lfloor sqrt{n+9}rfloor}$



Without the floor function this would be simple, but I never encountered it before so I have no idea what to do, maybe utilize the squeeze theorem somehow?

You can bound the floor function above and below by $n-1 leqlfloor n rfloor leq n$. This means you can bound your limit by



$$
lim frac{n+(n^frac{1}{3}-1)^3}{n-sqrt{n+9}} leq lim frac{n+lfloor n^frac{1}{3} rfloor^3}{n-lfloor sqrt{n+9}rfloor } leq lim frac{n+(n^frac{1}{3})^3}{n-sqrt{n+9}-1}
$$
as in the left most limit you have made the numerator smaller and the denominator bigger, while in the right most limit you have done the opposite.



If you compute the limits of these two sequences (and show they are equal), then you get your limit.

    You can bound the floor function above and below by $n-1 leqlfloor n rfloor leq n$. This means you can bound your limit by



    $$
    lim frac{n+(n^frac{1}{3}-1)^3}{n-sqrt{n+9}} leq lim frac{n+lfloor n^frac{1}{3} rfloor^3}{n-lfloor sqrt{n+9}rfloor } leq lim frac{n+(n^frac{1}{3})^3}{n-sqrt{n+9}-1}
    $$
    as in the left most limit you have made the numerator smaller and the denominator bigger, while in the right most limit you have done the opposite.



    If you compute the limits of these two sequences (and show they are equal), then you get your limit.

            Can a sorcerer learn a 5th-level spell early by creating spell slots using the Font of Magic feature?

            Image
            28 6 $begingroup$ Per the Font of Magic feature, sorcerer can use Flexible Casting to create 5th-level spell slots at level 7, even though they are not typically available until level 9. You can transform unexpended sorcery points into one spell slot as a bonus action on your turn. The Creating Spell Slots table shows the cost of creating a spell slot of [5th level is 7] If such a sorcerer levels up while still having this 5th-level spell slot, can they choose a 5th-level spell as the spell they gain upon levelling up? The Spellcasting feature states: Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the sorcerer spells you know and replace it with another spell from the sorcerer spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots.
