Would someone mind helping me out with this question on limits? Find the limit of the function algebraically. limit as x approaches zero of quantity x squared plus two x divided by x to the fourth power. Find the limit of the function algebraically. lim as x->0, (x^2+2x)/x^4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i didnt realize i had wrote the question twice

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the result is 0/0 so factor out the problems, and cancels out the like term then, plug the zero to solve

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when i factor the top i get (x(x+2))/x^4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but when substitute the 0 i end up with 0/0 again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

factor out the denominator too

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k give me a sec

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not entirely sure how to factor this without ending up with the same answers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would you mind working this question out for me?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i don't think the limit for this problem exists

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so there is no limit

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and that would be the answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah i would think so

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks for the help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no problem
