determine: lim 5-n^2/2n x→∞

OpenStudy (anonymous):

We seem to be confusing our variables...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if the problem is correctly written, then it's 5-n^2/2n

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It seems to me that the limit is -Infinity

OpenStudy (anonymous):

as x approaches infinit?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The expression is equivalent to -n/2 for large n.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So the limit as n approaches infinity is - infinity

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but problem is as x approaches infinty

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are you sure as x approaches infinity. Your expression does not depend on x. So x does not have any effect on your expression and in the case, the limit would be your expression as written.
