ok easy one first

you can find the tables there
so first there is a bit of re-expressing
the notes just leave 1 line out

next bit is explained very poorly and is not by any means what I would call easy.
First thing to note is alpha isn't a variable in this limit,it is 6 so alpha minus 1 =5
so the notes expansion is nonsense in my eyes cause they take it to the power of minus 1 , the answer is written from the point of view of "I already know the answer so here is a poor explanation".
So I expand the top and bottom of the fraction in the brackets and then only worry about the term independent of k^n since all the rest will go to 0 in the limit , hope this makes sense IF you ever read this , so reply back if ya get it or more importantly if you don't get it.
