          An even quicker way to the answer comes from observing that



          $$left ( x^m + 1 right )^{frac{1}{n}} - left (x^m - 1 right)^{frac{1}{n}} = x^{frac{m}{n}} left [ left ( 1 + frac{1}{x^m} right )^{frac{1}{n}} - left (1 - frac{1}{x^m} right)^{frac{1}{n}} right ]$$



          $$ approx x^{frac{m}{n}} left [ left ( 1 + frac{1}{n x^m} right ) - left (1 - frac{1}{n x^m} right) right ]$$



          $$ = frac{2 x^{frac{m}{n}}}{n x^m} $$



          The value $2/n$ follows from the factor on the right of the original expression.

          First, observe that
          $$lim_{xto +infty}left[(x^m + 1)^{1/n} - (x^m - 1)^{1/n}right]x^{(mn-m)/n}
          =lim_{xto +infty}x^{frac mn}left[(1 + frac1{x^m})^{1/n} - (1- frac1{x^m})^{1/n}right]x^{(mn-m)/n}=
          lim_{xto +infty}left[(1+ frac1{x^m})^{1/n} - (1- frac1{x^m})^{1/n}right]x^{m}
          $$
          Now, since
          $$alpha^{1/n}-beta^{1/n}=frac{alpha-beta}{alpha^{{(n-1)}/n}+
          alpha^{{(n-2)}/n}beta+...+alphabeta^{{(n-2)}/n}+beta^{{(n-1)}/n}}$$
          the limit becomes
          $$lim_{xto +infty}left[frac{1+ frac1{x^m}- 1+ frac1{x^m}}{(1+ frac1{x^m})^{{(n-1)}/n}+...+(1+ frac1{x^m})^{{(n-1)}/n}}right]x^m=
          lim_{xto +infty}left[frac{2}{(1+ frac1{x^m})^{{(n-1)}/n}+...+(1+ frac1{x^m})^{{(n-1)}/n}}right]$$
          The denominator tends to $1+1+...+1=n$ therefore
          $$lim_{xto +infty}left[frac2{(1+ frac1{x^m})^{{(n-1)}/n}+...+(1+ frac1{x^m})^{{(n-1)}/n}}right]=frac2n$$

            Substitute $y=x^m$. Then after rework the limit is that of



            $$lim_{ytoinfty}y,((1+y^{-1})^{1/n}-(1-y^{-1})^{1/n}).$$



            Then




            • by Taylor, $$lim_{ytoinfty}y,left(1+frac{y^{-1}}n-1+frac{y^{-1}}n+o(y^{-1})right)=frac2n,$$


            • or multiplying by the conjugate multinomial



            $$lim_{ytoinfty}yfrac{1+y^{-1}-1+y^{-1}}{displaystylesum_{k=0}^{n-1}(1+y^{-1})^{k/n}}=frac2n,$$




            • or by L'Hospital with the variable $y^{-1}$,


            $$lim_{ytoinfty}frac{(1+y^{-1})^{1/n}-(1-y^{-1})^{1/n}}{y^{-1}}=lim_{ytoinfty}frac{(1+y^{-1})^{1/n-1}+(1-y^{-1})^{1/n-1}}n=frac2n.$$

              First, observe that
              $$lim_{xto +infty}left[(x^m + 1)^{1/n} - (x^m - 1)^{1/n}right]x^{(mn-m)/n}
              =lim_{xto +infty}x^{frac mn}left[(1 + frac1{x^m})^{1/n} - (1- frac1{x^m})^{1/n}right]x^{(mn-m)/n}=

              alpha^{{(n-2)}/n}beta+...+alphabeta^{{(n-2)}/n}+beta^{{(n-1)}/n}}$$
              the limit becomes

                First, observe that
                $$lim_{xto +infty}left[(x^m + 1)^{1/n} - (x^m - 1)^{1/n}right]x^{(mn-m)/n}
                =lim_{xto +infty}x^{frac mn}left[(1 + frac1{x^m})^{1/n} - (1- frac1{x^m})^{1/n}right]x^{(mn-m)/n}=
                lim_{xto +infty}left[(1+ frac1{x^m})^{1/n} - (1- frac1{x^m})^{1/n}right]x^{m}
                $$
                Now, since
                $$alpha^{1/n}-beta^{1/n}=frac{alpha-beta}{alpha^{{(n-1)}/n}+
                alpha^{{(n-2)}/n}beta+...+alphabeta^{{(n-2)}/n}+beta^{{(n-1)}/n}}$$
                the limit becomes
                $$lim_{xto +infty}left[frac{1+ frac1{x^m}- 1+ frac1{x^m}}{(1+ frac1{x^m})^{{(n-1)}/n}+...+(1+ frac1{x^m})^{{(n-1)}/n}}right]x^m=
                lim_{xto +infty}left[frac{2}{(1+ frac1{x^m})^{{(n-1)}/n}+...+(1+ frac1{x^m})^{{(n-1)}/n}}right]$$
                The denominator tends to $1+1+...+1=n$ therefore
                $$lim_{xto +infty}left[frac2{(1+ frac1{x^m})^{{(n-1)}/n}+...+(1+ frac1{x^m})^{{(n-1)}/n}}right]=frac2n$$

Det vart oppretta av kong Olav Kyrre mellom 1070 og 1080 som bispedøme. Bispedømet vart opphøgd til erkebispedøme i 1153. Erkebispedømet vart innstifta av pave Anastasius IV i 1154, og var i funksjon fram til reformasjonen i 1537. Erkebiskopen sitt hovudsete var Erkebispegarden, rett ved domkyrkja Nidarosdomen. Frå 1152 til 1154 var Nicholas Breakspear i Skandinavia som paveleg utsending, og organiserte opprettinga av erkesetet.
