Limits, not sure how to go about this one http://prntscr.com/d40eyy

@zepdrix

OpenStudy (marcelie):

approaches 0 i think.

OpenStudy (marcelie):

it might help if u graph it

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Won't have a graph on test... so I would rather learn how to do it without a graph

OpenStudy (loser66):

Is it not that we have a formula \[\lim_{x\rightarrow \infty} \dfrac{x^n}{e^x}=0\]

OpenStudy (loser66):

so, no matter n is, we get 0 , right?

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

I feel so dumb now >_< that equation is the same as \(\dfrac{\sqrt x}{e^x}\)

OpenStudy (loser66):

\(e^{-x}=\dfrac{1}{e^x}\)

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

So anything over e^x is 0?

OpenStudy (loser66):

x^(anything)/e^x

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

What if we had 1/e^x?

OpenStudy (loser66):

I think same. :)

OpenStudy (osprey):

What if we had 1/e^x? x=100, say 1 over 2.7(ish) ^100 = 7.3050565811478200070130067818609e-44 ie zero in the limit ?

OpenStudy (sshayer):

\[e^x=1+\frac{ x }{ 1 }+\frac{ x^2 }{ 2! }+\frac{ x^3 }{ 3! }+....\] \[\lim_{x \rightarrow \infty}\frac{ \sqrt{x} }{ e^x }=?\] divide the numerator and denominator by \[\sqrt{x}\] then take the limit
