Find the limit...

OpenStudy (darkprince14):

find the limit as x approaches +infinity \[\frac{ x^{2} \ln x} { e^{x} }\]

L'Hôpital, hopefully?

OpenStudy (darkprince14):

yep. I solved it and the answer I got is 0... don't know if it's right or wrong...

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Let's find out :) This limit \[\Large \lim_{x\rightarrow +\infty}\frac{x^2 \ln(x)}{e^x}\] is indeterminate of the form \[\Large \frac{\infty}{\infty}\] Applying L'Hôpital has us differentiate the numerator and denominator, and then taking the limit as x goes to positive infinity, we get... \[\Large \lim_{x\rightarrow+\infty}\frac{x + 2x\ln(x)}{3^x}\]I believe...

Crap, typo, I meant \[\Large \lim_{x\rightarrow+\infty}\frac{x + 2x\ln(x)}{e^x}\]

OpenStudy (abb0t):

watch the language mother hecker!!

OpenStudy (darkprince14):

yep.. but still, it's infinity over infinity, so I applied the rule again and what I got was, and then got infinity over infinity again.. This was what I got that amde me conclude that the limit is 0. \[\frac{ 2 }{ x(e ^{x}) }\] if the numerator is constant, and the denominator is infinity, can I conclude that the limit is 0?

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Yup :)

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Nicely done ^_^

phew, thought that was wrong... I'm making improvements!!!!!!!
