Estimate the limit numerically. lim 3xe^−7x x→+infinity

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

put in 100000000000 for x and see what you get

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I get 0 but the system says that is not correct

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

what system?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my homework system

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

its wrong then, we can use l'hospital rule and get 3/(7e^(7x)) and then it goes to 0

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

what does your book say it is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the other problem was DNE but this one is not allowing that option either

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

you sure its not as x goes to negative infinity?

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

and 0 is not the same as does not exist btw

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no its positive I know but I was tried a number of options based on other examples

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

well the answer is 0, you can check on wolfram or your calculator or many other places. The book is wrong ...it happens
