Limits question

I don't understand why we have forced 5c-1=0 so we can get infinity x zero form

Is there a simpler soln?

If c>0.2; the limit blows to -infinity (given that it is defined, i.e., c is an integer). Similarly if c<0.2, limit blows to infinity.

So basically,it cannot be solved unless c=0.2 i.e that's the only case where finite limit exists?
SirLancelotDuLac
That's the only case where the limit is finite and non-zero, yes.

Alright How was I supposed to think of this in the question though? Like, what was my line of thinking supposed to be after factoring out x^5c Because that's where I could reach I understand the rest of it but idk how I'm supposed to think of stuff like this
SirLancelotDuLac
Inside the bracket, x^5 term dominates over all the other terms and for limit to be finite, (->x^5)^c and x must have a small finite difference, which is only possible if c=1/5
