Evaluate the limit using L'Hospital's rule
okay so the original equation is \[\lim_{x \rightarrow \inf} \frac{ x^6 }{ x }\] so I took the derivative f'(x)/g'(x) and got \[\frac{ 6x^5 }{ 1 }\]
so wouldn't the limit just be infinity? but it says infinity is not defined in this context so I did something wrong.
as x->inf, x^5->inf
and yes infinity isn't a number it just means the numbers get really really huge
your derivative is correct:)
Yes:) you didn't need L'H"S, it is logical to be so, but oh, well you do what the teacher asks:)
lim go to positive infinity its positive infinity
yes, it is positive infinity.
so why do I put in online, because it is not taking infinity
you can use a code for infinity though, `infty`
it said the answer was 1
It is not taking the word infinity?
check the limit, you might have maid a mistake about how you entered the limit here.
The way it is now, \[\Large \lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} \frac{x^6}{x}=\infty\]
oh wait a minute its \[x ^{\frac{ 6 }{ x }}\]
perhaps
You don't know what your problem says?
here is a screenshot
\[\large \lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} x^{6/x}\]
\[e^{\ln(x^\frac{6}{x})}=e^{\frac{6}{x} \ln(x)}=e^\frac{6 \ln(x)}{x}\] use this
take the limit of the exponent as x->inf
gotcha!! thanks!
\[e^{\lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} \frac{6 \ln(x)}{x}}\]
