two extremely difficult limit problems

[fankafoon]

1) lim x->infinity ((3^x+4^x)/4)^(1/x)
2) lim x->infinity x^(3/2)((x+1)^(1/2)+(x-1)^(1/2)-2x^(1/2))

Please help me out...

\(\displaystyle \mbox{1) }\, \)$\displaystyle \displaystyle \lim_{x\, \rightarrow\, \infty}\, \left(\dfrac{3^x\, +\, 4^x}{4}\right)^{\dfrac{1}{x}}$

\(\displaystyle \mbox{2) }\,\)$\displaystyle \displaystyle \lim_{x\, \rightarrow\, \infty}\, \left(x^{\frac{3}{2}}\right)\, \left((x\, +\, 1)^{\frac{1}{2}}\, +\, (x\, -\, 1)^{\frac{1}{2}}\, -\, 2x^{\frac{1}{2}}\right)$

What are your thoughts? What methods have they given you? What have you tried? How far did you get? Where are you stuck?

Please be complete. Thank you!

There are two useful theorems to use here:
If $\displaystyle 0<c$ then $\displaystyle (\sqrt[n]c)\to 1.$
If $\displaystyle 0<c<d$ then $\displaystyle (\sqrt[n]{c^n+d^n})\to d$.
