Evaluating $\lim_{x \rightarrow +\infty} \frac{\sqrt x + x^3 -\sqrt{x^6-2x^4} -x}{\log(1+{e}^{3\sqrt x})}$ I'm trying to calculate the following limit:
$$\lim_{x \rightarrow +\infty} \frac{\displaystyle\sqrt x + x^3 -\sqrt{x^6-2x^4} -x}{\displaystyle \log(1+{e}^{3\sqrt x})}$$
For WolframAlpha the result is: $\frac 13$, I've seen its step by step process but I didn't understand the background logic.
Before I got stuck, I did this step:
$\lim_{x \rightarrow +\infty} \frac{\displaystyle\sqrt x + x^3 -\sqrt{x^6-2x^4} -x}{\displaystyle \log[{e}^{3\sqrt x}({e}^{-3\sqrt x}+1)]}$  and then
$\lim_{x \rightarrow +\infty} \frac{\displaystyle\sqrt x + x^3 -\sqrt{x^6-2x^4} -x}{\displaystyle \log({e}^{3\sqrt x})+\log({e}^{-3\sqrt x}+1)}$ 
so $$\lim_{x \rightarrow +\infty} \frac{\displaystyle\sqrt x + x^3 -\sqrt{x^6-2x^4} -x}{\displaystyle {3\sqrt x}}$$
Someone could give me a hint for solve it? 

First note that $\sqrt{x^6-2x^4} = x^3 \sqrt{1 - 2/x^2} = x^3 \left(1 - 1/x^2 + O(1/x^4)\right) = x^3 - x + O(1/x)$ so
$$\sqrt x + x^3 -\sqrt{x^6-2x^4} - x = \sqrt x + x^3 - \left( x^3 - x + O(1/x) \right) - x \\ = \sqrt x + O(1/x) \sim \sqrt x$$
for large $x$.
Also, for large $x$,
$\log\left(1+e^{3\sqrt x}\right) \sim 3\sqrt x$.
Therefore,
$$\frac{\sqrt x + x^3 -\sqrt{x^6-2x^4} - x}{\log(1+{e}^{3\sqrt x})}
\sim \frac{\sqrt x}{3\sqrt x} = \frac{1}{3}.$$
Thus the limit is $\frac13$.
