How do I solve for this limit?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\lim_{x \rightarrow \infty}\frac{ 2^x }{ 3^x-2^x }\]

HINT: Divide numerator and denominator by \(3^x\).

geerky42 (geerky42):

So you then would have \(\displaystyle\lim_{x\to\infty}\dfrac{\left(\dfrac{2}{3}\right)^x}{\dfrac{3^x-2^x}{3^x}} = \lim_{x\to\infty}\dfrac{\left(\dfrac{2}{3}\right)^x}{1-\left(\dfrac{2}{3}\right)^x} = \dfrac{0}{1-0} = \boxed{0}\) Since we know that \(\displaystyle \lim_{x\to\infty}a^x = 0\) for \(-1<a<1\)
