Limits

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\lim_{x \rightarrow -\infty}\frac{ 4x }{ \sqrt{3+x^2} }\]

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

Have you learnt the l'hopital rule?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

We might have gone over it, but I can't recall it

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Do it analytically is possible too. As x becomes very large, the 3 is insignificant and can be ignored. Simplify this:\[\Large \frac{ 4x }{ \sqrt{x^2} }\]

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

It'll simplify to:\[\Large \frac{ 4x }{ \left| x \right| }\]which means if it's x is negative...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright, I have it up to here. Where do I go form here?

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Just simplify. If you can't do it as is, imagine if x=-1, or something like that. You'll see it's very easy.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ 4(-1) }{ \left| -1 \right| }\] -4?

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

exactly

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright, well thanks a lot!

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

no problem
