 //Example: say you want to prove the limit of $\frac{4n^3 + 3n}{n^3 - 6} => \frac{3n+24}{n^3 - 6} = 4 $ . It would be hard to isolate $n$ to find such an $N > 0$. \\ //Example: say you want to prove the limit of $\frac{4n^3 + 3n}{n^3 - 6} => \frac{3n+24}{n^3 - 6} = 4 $ .

 Hence bound the sequence by something easier i.e. $3n + 24 \leq 27n$. Thus $\frac{27n}{n^3 - 6} < \epsilon$. Building off this technique we know the denominator $n^3 - 6 \geq \frac{n^3}{2}$ . Hence $\frac{27n}{n^3 / 2} < \epsilon => \frac{54}{n^2} < \epsilon$ .Then from here you can easily find an $N > 0$ s.t. the limit definition holds. This technique is displayed in Ross page 40 - 41.// \\ Hence bound the sequence by something easier i.e. $3n + 24 \leq 27n$. Thus $\frac{27n}{n^3 - 6} < \epsilon$.
