\[\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} n*\ln(\sqrt{n^2+2n+5}-n)\]
hartnn (hartnn):
have you tried plugging in
x =1/n
as n-> infty
x->0
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I've applied L'hopital rule
hartnn (hartnn):
you can use L'H right ?

hartnn (hartnn):
do it after the substitution
OpenStudy (solomonzelman):
if you plug it in it would be infinity - infinity ...
because the sqrt would be approaching infinity
OpenStudy (solomonzelman):
yeah L'H's
OpenStudy (solomonzelman):
rule *
hartnn (hartnn):
L'H can be used only for
0/0 or inf/inf form
hence that substitution is required

dude I've already apllied l'hopital rule but the expression doesn't simplify at all
@hartnn I know the theory very well
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty}\frac{ \ln(\sqrt{n^2+2n+5}-n) }{ \frac{ 1 }{ n } } \]
do you ever tried this?
hartnn (hartnn):
\(\ln (5x^2 -2x+1) -\ln x \\ \dfrac{10x^2 -2}{5x^2 -2x+1} -\dfrac{1}{x}\)
you tried something like this ?
OpenStudy (solomonzelman):
I know what to do.
\[\Large\color{blue}{ \bf \lim_{n \rightarrow infinity} \frac{\ln\sqrt{n^2+2x+5}}{\frac{1}{n}} }\]
OpenStudy (solomonzelman):
I mean\[\Large\color{blue}{ \bf \lim_{n \rightarrow infinity} \frac{\ln\sqrt{n^2+2x+5}-n}{\frac{1}{n}} }\]

that would be ugly
OpenStudy (anonymous):
10 points for zelman
OpenStudy (solomonzelman):
as you plug infinity you get inf-inf on top
and 1/inf on bottom
OpenStudy (solomonzelman):
then derive top bottom
OpenStudy (anonymous):
on top is actually 0

0/0
OpenStudy (solomonzelman):
BOTTOM IS ZERO
OpenStudy (solomonzelman):
YES 0/0
OpenStudy (solomonzelman):
yup, infinity - infinity
