find the limit as x approaches infinity of ((4x^3)-x-5)/(4x-7)

OpenStudy (clara1223):

\[\lim_{x \rightarrow \infty}\frac{ 4x ^{3}-x-5 }{ 4x-7 }\]

OpenStudy (amistre64):

and your working now?

OpenStudy (clara1223):

same as the last question? would I divide everything by the highest power of x?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

yep, divide by highest power if x

OpenStudy (amistre64):

*of x

OpenStudy (clara1223):

I get 4/0 and you cannot have a 0 in the denominator so as @EllaElla02 said, the limit does not exist.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

depends on how your book defines infinity ... it is either DNE or +inf

OpenStudy (clara1223):

in class we use DNE

OpenStudy (amistre64):

in other courses, the would say +inf :)

OpenStudy (clara1223):

because it covers - inf and +inf so its safer
