How to correctly evaluate limits with parameters

Posted 1 month ago
Limit[(t^2 (-1 + t^k))/(-1 + t), k -> +Infinity] // 
 FullSimplify[#, 0 < t < 1] &

The code is not correctly calculating the right limit value, where the parameter t ranges from 0 < t < 1. The correct result should be t²/(1 - t). How can this be obtained?

Try passing the assumptions to Limit[]:

Limit[(t^2 (-1 + t^k))/(-1 + t), k -> +Infinity, 
 Assumptions -> 0 < t < 1]
