help! :( (see attachment)
x*(9 - x - x³) ------------- x* ( x² + 12) 9 - x - x² ---------- x² +12 x* ( 9/x - 1 - x) ---------------- x * ( x + 12/x) -1 - x ------ x -x / x - 1/x = -1 - 1/x = -1 - infinity = infinity
you could also divide every term by x^3 Note: lim a/x^n = 0 as x->infinity
just look at the degree of the top and the degree of the bottom... if the degree on the top is more than the bottom, no limit if the degree are equal, limit is the ratio of the coefficients if the degree on the top is less than the degree on the bottom, limit is zero
ok honestly I could do this, i just want to make sure i got it right. my answer cam out to be -7.
no degree on top is higher, so there is no real limit it should be either +- infinity in this case since coefficient of x^4 is negative, limit is -infinity
can it be Does not exist?
