find lim (21-y)^5/6 y→-6

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

Is that \[\lim_{y\rightarrow-6}(21-y)^{5/6}\]?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry i meant 5/3

OpenStudy (zehanz):

If you set y = -6 in the formula, you get:\[27^{\frac{ 5 }{ 3 }}\]This number can be simplified further, because 27 is itself a power of 3, so the final answer is a nice integer.
