The limit as p approaches infinity for (5p + 7p + 11p)1/p is 11.

11 = t3 - t + 5 can be rewritten as the cubic equation:
                                 t3 - t - 6 = 0

Solving the cubic equation for t, we get the roots
                           (2, -1+i*21/2, -1-i*21/2).

Thus, all possible real t that satisfy the equation is {2}.
