1. Problem Description

We need to find the limit of the expression n2(n+1)2\frac{n^2}{(n+1)^2} as nn approaches infinity.

2. Solution Steps

First, expand the denominator:
(n+1)2=n2+2n+1(n+1)^2 = n^2 + 2n + 1
Now, the expression becomes:
n2n2+2n+1\frac{n^2}{n^2 + 2n + 1}
To find the limit as nn approaches infinity, we can divide both the numerator and the denominator by the highest power of nn in the denominator, which is n2n^2:
limnn2n2+2n+1=limnn2n2n2n2+2nn2+1n2\lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{n^2}{n^2 + 2n + 1} = \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{\frac{n^2}{n^2}}{\frac{n^2}{n^2} + \frac{2n}{n^2} + \frac{1}{n^2}}
Simplify the expression:
limn11+2n+1n2\lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{1}{1 + \frac{2}{n} + \frac{1}{n^2}}
As nn approaches infinity, 2n\frac{2}{n} and 1n2\frac{1}{n^2} approach 0:
limn2n=0\lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{2}{n} = 0
limn1n2=0\lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{1}{n^2} = 0
Therefore, the limit becomes:
limn11+0+0=11=1\lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{1}{1 + 0 + 0} = \frac{1}{1} = 1

3. Final Answer

The limit is 1.
