man, try www.wolframalpha.com

Sorry the brackets may be confusing its 5/n^3 times the other function over 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

As n becomes large you can ignore the 1 in n+1 and 2n+1 . This gives you a n^3 term to cancel the bottom n^3 giving you 10/6

Oh i see, though the answer is 5/6

Thanks for the link

I think the answer should be 10/6 because the 2 does not disappear in 2n+1. This 2 is multiplied by the 5 in the other expression to give 10/6. Or am I missing something?
