Find the limit as it approaches infinity when \[\frac{4x-1}{x} < f(x) < \frac{4x^2+3x}{x^2}\] for all x>5.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you need to find out what x is?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
or you need the answer?

Im just trying to figure out where to begin. :) Thank you!

Take limit of left side,\[\large\rm \lim\limits_{x\to\infty}\frac{4x-1}{x}=a\]It will approach some value.
Take limit of the other side,\[\large\rm \lim\limits_{x\to\infty}\frac{4x^2+3x}{x^2}=a\]You'll find that they approach the same value!
So by Squeeze Theorem: \(\large\rm f(x)\to a\) as \(\large\rm x\to\infty\).
It's a little disturbing that you have strict inequalities.. those shouldn't be strict. Maybe a typo?
Anyway, yes 4 sounds right! :)
