find limit as x approaches - infinity find limit as x approaches infinity y= 9x ln|x|
are you familiar with L hospital rule
yes. oh would you take the derivative of 9x over derivative of ln|x|
tryit out :)
y'=9 ln(x) + 9x/x , where x >0 as log is defined for +ve values then evaluaate limits , if you still encounter infinity, take y" = 9/x, evaluate limits and answer is 9/ infinity =0
wait, why did you divide by x. i thought it was f(x)/g'(x) so derivative of 9x/ derivative of lnx. and why is 9lnx added with 9x
derivative of ln(x) = 1/x
product rule
oh! thanks
wait, there's supposed to be two answers since it's the limit approacing negative and postive infinity. 0 isn't an answer
whats the answer
ok then this needs a trick here it is write 9xln(x) =\[9 \ln (x)/\frac{ 1 }{ x }\], which is essentialy same thing observer it is infinity over 0 form use hopitals rule 9 (1/x) is derivative of numerator -1/x^2 is that of denominator on cancellation of common terms you will have -9x in numerator, plug value of x = infinity, you get your answer
