Find the limit of the sequence $frac{2^{n-1} + 3^n} {4^n - 1}$

$begingroup$


I have done right here...



$$lim_{n to infty } frac{2^{n-1} + 3^n}{4^n - 1}.$$



I know that I have to eliminate the lowest exponents in each part which is $2^{n-1}$ at the numerator and $1$ at the denominator but how to eliminate it?

Just divide numerator and denominator by $4^{n}$. Can you now see that the limit is $0$?
