find the limit

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} (\sqrt{16x^2+x}-4x)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there is no denominator? if no - lim= infinity (no limit)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok I am going to try to remember this... so if no denominator then equals infinity. RIGHT?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it say it is wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just think about it... x->infinity... only numbers you have -> infinity you can't cancel out anything... has to be infinity, right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wrong? let's check the original problem... is it: sq rt (16x^2+x)- 4x ? give me a min

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oup! I see

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have four more i need help with....I am going to switch to another computer..Please can you help me with these last 4 problems...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let's do the following: \[\lim(\sqrt{16x^{2}+x}-4x)*(\sqrt{16x ^{2}+x}+4x)/(\sqrt{16x ^{2}+x}+4x)\] do you see now?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok i will be right back

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[=\lim(16x ^{2}+4-16x ^{2})/(\sqrt{16x ^{2}+x}+4x)<=\lim x/(4x+4x)=1/8\] =1/8 are we good now?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i'll be back in a few too :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this one: \[\lim(x+\sqrt{x^2+5x})\] use the same approach: multiply & divide by \[x-\sqrt{x^2+5x}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you'll get \[\lim(-5x)/(x-\sqrt{x^2+5x})=\lim 5/(-1+\sqrt{1+5/x}=5/(\lim(-1)+\lim(\sqrt{1+5/x})\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[=5/(\lim(-1)+\lim \sqrt{(1+5/x)})=...-5/2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is another problem (3) from your list: lim(x^2+x^3)= lim x^2(1+x)=limx^2 *(lim1 + limx)=-limx^2 * infinity=-infinity

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lim arctan (x^4-x^9)=-lim arctan(x^9-x^4)=-pi/2
