Hi, I am sorry for this stupid question - but how can I calculate the limit of: (3**x+5**x)**(1/x) for x->+infinity? The result is 5 as you can check by hand: (3**x+5**x)**(1/x) = 5 * ((3/5)**x+1)**(1/x) -> 5 When I tried that in axiom: limit((3**x+5**x)**(1/x), x=%+infinity) or the equivalent problem: limit((3**(1/x)+5**(1/x))**(x), x=0, "right") I got "failed". Also, this works correctly: simplify(2**x * 2**(2*x)) simplifies to 2**(3x) but this doesn't simplify at all: simplify(2**(5*x)/2**(4*x)) Thanks, Ondrej
