This problem is from my site http://mathonline.missouri.edu

OpenStudy (turingtest):

\[\lim_{t\to\infty}(1+\frac5t+\frac{10}{t^4})^{9t}=\exp(\lim_{t\to\infty}9t\ln(1+\frac5t+\frac{10}{t^4})\]\[=\exp(\lim_{n\to0}{9\ln(1+5n+10n^4)\over n})\]now use l'Hospital...

OpenStudy (turingtest):

\[=\exp(\lim_{n\to0}{45+360n^3\over1+5n+10n^4})=\exp(45)=e^{45}\]

OpenStudy (experimentx):

agrees with @TuringTest the answer must be e^45

OpenStudy (experimentx):

@TuringTest i quite don't understand the third step in your fist post though

OpenStudy (turingtest):

I made the substitution\[t=\frac1n\] so as \(t\to\infty\) that implies that \(n\to0\), which allowed me to use l'Hospital's rule

OpenStudy (experimentx):

Oo... i never thought such elegant method existed. I had to assume (5/t+10/t^4) < 1 and expand with log series and cancel out t to get 45 though

OpenStudy (turingtest):

Yeah, I learned that technique here on OS it's more than just a way to practice, we can learn here too :)

OpenStudy (turingtest):

I doubt I could even do your method though

OpenStudy (experimentx):

it's like a brute force hack ,,, always gives an advantage to a thick minded person like me log(1+x) = x+((x^2)/2)+((x^3)/3)+.............((x^n)/n)+...........

OpenStudy (turingtest):

oh yeah, you're so dim (*sarcastic smirk) What do you study anyway?

OpenStudy (experimentx):

Physics major

OpenStudy (experimentx):

You??

OpenStudy (turingtest):

Nice :) Me too, but only aspiring at the moment I'm a little older, so I don't know what I can do getting into school at my age I gotta bounce for now, see ya 'round!

OpenStudy (experimentx):

see ya
