@sourwing can you help?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which one is bigger eventually?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is x^4 > x^3 eventually?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No? x^4 is bigger

OpenStudy (anonymous):

good, so forget the negative sign in front of x^4 term, is the numerator eventually greater than the demoninator?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what does that tell you?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The top in expanding faster than the bottom

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not expanding but more like growing faster. so eventually, the ratio gets bigger and bigger. But in negative direction because there is a negative sign in front of x^4 term. So answer is -infinity

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yea that's kind of what I ment, just couldn't think of the right word
