Limit Question, Retyping using equation editor

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\lim_{x \rightarrow \inf}\frac{ \sqrt{5+4x^2} }{ 4+3x }\] So far I have done the following. \[\lim_{x \rightarrow \inf}\frac{ \sqrt{5+4x^2} }{ 4+3x} \times \frac{ \sqrt{5+4x^2} }{ \sqrt{5+4x^2} } = \frac{ 5+4x^2 }{(4+3x)\sqrt{5+4x^2} }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not sure what to go from here

HI!!

OpenStudy (misty1212):

do it with your eyeballs, ignore all but the highest powers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If i do it with my eyes I get inf/inf

OpenStudy (misty1212):

you get \[\frac{\sqrt{4x^2}}{3x}=\frac{2x}{3x}=\frac{2}{3}\] that is all

OpenStudy (anonymous):

humm, is that the same if you was to go to -inf ?

OpenStudy (misty1212):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How do i think about it if I was to approach -inf

OpenStudy (misty1212):

if you go to \(-\infty\) the numerator is positive but the denominator is negative so you get \(-\frac{2}{3}\)

Alright thanks, I am going to review some lectures. This topic is kind of confusing!
