Understanding Limits and Logarithms

The video tutorial explains how to find the limit of the x-th root of x as x approaches infinity. It begins by setting the expression equal to y and transforming it using fractional exponents. Logarithms are applied to simplify the expression further, and L'Hopital's Rule is used to solve the indeterminate form. The solution is confirmed by evaluating the expression for increasing values of x, showing that it approaches one.
