For a certain positive real number 0 ≤ x ≤ 9 0 , there is a real number y such that
n → ∞ lim ( 5 − 3 + 2 sin x ∘ ) n + 2 5 n = y 1 .
What is the value of x + y ?

First split limit into: n → ∞ lim ( 5 − 3 + 2 ⋅ sin ( x ) ) n + 2 5 n = n → ∞ lim ( 5 − 3 + 2 ⋅ sin ( x ) 5 ) n ⋅ ( 5 − 3 + 2 ⋅ sin ( x ) ) 2 1 . .
Since limit must be expressed as y 1 (y is real number), it can not be zero.

Now observe that factor on the left will not converge to 0 only if it's numerator equals it's denominator. . .
Considering this, sin ( x ) must equal to 2 3 therefore: x = 6 0 ∘ . .
Limit then equals to 2 5 1 and x + y = 8 5
