Evaluate the limit as x approaches infinity.

OpenStudy (johnnydicamillo):

\[\lim_{x \rightarrow -infinity} \frac{ 6 }{ e^x+7 }\]

OpenStudy (zarkon):

do you know \(\displaystyle\lim_{x\to-\infty}e^x\) ?

OpenStudy (johnnydicamillo):

@Zarkon , I am not sure

OpenStudy (zarkon):

look at the graph of \(e^x\)

OpenStudy (johnnydicamillo):

would it be -infinity?

OpenStudy (zarkon):

no...for any real x we have \(e^x>0\) so it can't be \(-\infty\)

OpenStudy (zarkon):

|dw:1415328057083:dw| looks something like this

OpenStudy (aum):

\[ \lim_{x\to-\infty}e^x = 0 \\ \lim_{x\to-\infty}\frac{6}{e^x+7} = \frac{6}{0+7} = \frac 67 \]
