To show that g(x) grows slower than f(x), what is the result of the limit as x goes to infinity of the quotient of g of x and f of x?

@freckles @jim_thompson5910 0?

f(x) reaches a large number such as 1000000 so it'll be lik 1/10000000 which is nearly equal to 0

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes, you are correct. f(x) grows faster, so you'll have a sequence like 1/1, 2/3, 3/5, ...., 99/1000, ...., 999/100000, .... 9999/10000000, ... so eventually things get so small that g/f approaches 0
