5: The expression in the numerator is of the type
∞ − ∞.
The leading term under the
root is n4, so when the root is taken into account, the
first term behaves like n2 when n goes to infinity,
that is, it is of the same order as the second term
"-n2".
In intuitive calculations
the leading terms cancel out

so we know that factoring out would not help.
Instead the best bet seems to be getting rid of the square root
algebraically, see the box
"difference of roots".
