Limit((1 + n)^4/(n^4), n, oo, dir='-')
Detail solution
Let's take the limit
$$\lim_{n \to \infty}\left(\frac{\left(n + 1\right)^{4}}{n^{4}}\right)$$
Let's divide numerator and denominator by n^4:
$$\lim_{n \to \infty}\left(\frac{\left(n + 1\right)^{4}}{n^{4}}\right)$$ =
$$\lim_{n \to \infty}\left(\frac{1 + \frac{4}{n} + \frac{6}{n^{2}} + \frac{4}{n^{3}} + \frac{1}{n^{4}}}{1}\right)$$
Do Replacement
$$u = \frac{1}{n}$$
then
$$\lim_{n \to \infty}\left(\frac{1 + \frac{4}{n} + \frac{6}{n^{2}} + \frac{4}{n^{3}} + \frac{1}{n^{4}}}{1}\right) = \lim_{u \to 0^+}\left(u^{4} + 4 u^{3} + 6 u^{2} + 4 u + 1\right)$$
=
$$0^{4} + 4 \cdot 0 + 4 \cdot 0^{3} + 6 \cdot 0^{2} + 1 = 1$$

The final answer:
$$\lim_{n \to \infty}\left(\frac{\left(n + 1\right)^{4}}{n^{4}}\right) = 1$$
Lopital's rule
We have indeterminateness of type
oo/oo,

i.e. limit for the numerator is
$$\lim_{n \to \infty} \left(n + 1\right)^{4} = \infty$$
and limit for the denominator is
$$\lim_{n \to \infty} n^{4} = \infty$$
Let's take derivatives of the numerator and denominator until we eliminate indeterninateness.
$$\lim_{n \to \infty}\left(\frac{\left(n + 1\right)^{4}}{n^{4}}\right)$$
=
Let's transform the function under the limit a few
$$\lim_{n \to \infty}\left(\frac{\left(n + 1\right)^{4}}{n^{4}}\right)$$
=
$$\lim_{n \to \infty}\left(\frac{\frac{d}{d n} \left(n + 1\right)^{4}}{\frac{d}{d n} n^{4}}\right)$$
=
$$\lim_{n \to \infty}\left(\frac{\left(n + 1\right)^{3}}{n^{3}}\right)$$
=
$$\lim_{n \to \infty}\left(\frac{\frac{d}{d n} 4 \left(n + 1\right)^{3}}{\frac{d}{d n} 4 n^{3}}\right)$$
=
$$\lim_{n \to \infty}\left(\frac{\left(n + 1\right)^{2}}{n^{2}}\right)$$
=
$$\lim_{n \to \infty}\left(\frac{\frac{d}{d n} 12 \left(n + 1\right)^{2}}{\frac{d}{d n} 12 n^{2}}\right)$$
=
$$\lim_{n \to \infty}\left(\frac{24 n + 24}{24 n}\right)$$
=
$$\lim_{n \to \infty}\left(\frac{\frac{d}{d n} \left(24 n + 24\right)}{\frac{d}{d n} 24 n}\right)$$
=
$$\lim_{n \to \infty} 1$$
=
$$\lim_{n \to \infty} 1$$
=
$$1$$
It can be seen that we have applied Lopital's rule (we have taken derivatives with respect to the numerator and denominator) 4 time(s)
