Last (For Now) Question On Limit Evaluation

What (if exists) the $\lim \limits_{n\to \infty}\frac{(n+1)^n-(n-1)^n}{n^n+2}$?

Should I use the binomial theory in the numerator? Please try to keep it as elementary as possible because we are only in the beginning of the course.

Thanks a lot.

Try dividing both the numerator and denominator by $n^n$. The numerator will now start with the term$(1+\frac{1}{n})^n$. Does this look familiar? –  Tom Cooney Apr 13 '12 at 10:39
Thanks, I got: $\frac{(1+\frac{1}{n})^n-(1-\frac{1}{n})^n}{1+\frac{2}{n^n}}$; is that what you meant? if so does the numerator converge to $e-e^{-1}$? and does the denominator converge to infinity? –  Anonymous Apr 13 '12 at 10:51
You have the right answer for the numerator, but check your answer for the denominator again. –  Tom Cooney Apr 13 '12 at 10:52
Oops, I meant to write that the denominator converges to 1; if I'm correct then the sequence converges to $e-e^{-1}$. –  Anonymous Apr 13 '12 at 10:53

For simplification, does it help you to consider a general $n$ on the (real) number line? Then adjacent integers can be described as $n-1$ and $n+1$ and we have a sequence of three numbers $n-1, n, n+1$. The difference of the two endpoints $n+1 - (n-1)$ is $2$. What then, happens to the differences for powers of these integers?
