This is merely the case where you have a function of x, f(x), and you are asked for the #lim_(xtoa)f(x)#; this is known to be:

#lim_(xtoa)f(x) = f(a)#

Explanation:

I am going to assume that you meant x when you wrote the binomial but you typed y or you meant y when specified the approaching variable but typed x. Either way, the following is what I think that you meant:

#lim_(xto-3)(5-x)^(4/3) = (5 --3)^(4/3) = 8^(4/3) = 2^4 = 16#
