Let f(x) = x100 and g(x) = 2x. As x → ∞, which statement is true? A) f(x) > g(x) B) g(x) > f(x) C) f(x) = g(x) D) Insufficient information.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is x → ∞ mean?

OpenStudy (rock_mit182):

when x is aproches to infinity in the function

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it means value of x becoming so large ans tending to infinite

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but why is A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correct answer will be C because as x tends to infinite both function tend to infinite so they are equal

OpenStudy (rock_mit182):

make a table with values for each function and you will be able to see

OpenStudy (anonymous):

f(g) is 2 to the x power i think that is greater than x to the 100 power

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so x → ∞ this can i say that is infinity??

OpenStudy (rock_mit182):

it tends to. because there are no llimit in infinity you know what i mean

OpenStudy (rock_mit182):

\[\lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} x ^{100} \]\[\lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} 2^{x} \]

OpenStudy (rock_mit182):

you know what, on this functions there are not asymptotes

OpenStudy (rock_mit182):

that's why they going on and on

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so → just mean a line that is no end just like axis right??

OpenStudy (rock_mit182):

no alway cause there are multiple kinds of limits

OpenStudy (rock_mit182):

but in this case what you say is true, im going to give an exmpla with asymptotes|dw:1396125418498:dw|
