Hello, can you help me?

I have the following equation and I have to find what is the Lim when t®¥

V(Zt)=((ls)2)/n×(1-(1-l))2t/ (1-(1-l))2

Is l fixed (independent of time)? If so, how big is it? It might help you to observe that 1-(1-l)=l.

I made some mistakes in the equation:
the first l (ls) is also lambda and also the power 2t and 2 are only for (1-lambda), and not for (1-(1-lambda).I put the brackets incorrectly.
sorry about that.

lambda takes values between (0,1].

the top part is (ls)2(1-(1-l)2t)

the other part is: n(1-(1-l)2)

Ah. I see. Well, you can safely ignore anything that doesn't depend on t. Now LaTeX Image, so LaTeX Image.
Hence your expression as a whole tends to
