help asap

OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):

I think it is C, and you??? from my works.

OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):

@3mar

OpenStudy (3mar):

I am on it

OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):

thank you.

OpenStudy (3mar):

Really I don't know ...Sorry for disappointing you...

OpenStudy (sunnnystrong):

@iwanttogotostanford. \[\lim_{x \rightarrow \infty}g(x)*f(x) = \lim_{x \rightarrow \infty}g(x)*\lim_{x \rightarrow \infty}f(x) \]

OpenStudy (hafeda):

answer is a if u want i can solve it

OpenStudy (sunnnystrong):

For the first option: \[f(x)=10x+e^{-x}\] \[g(x)=5x^{-1}\] \[\lim_{x \rightarrow \infty}5x^{-1}=0\] \[\lim_{x \rightarrow \infty}10x+e^{-x}=10x+\frac{ 1 }{ e^x }= \infty \] \[\lim_{x \rightarrow \infty}g(x)*f(x)=\infty * 0\] For the second option: \[f(x)=x^2\] \[g(x)=e^{-4x}\] \[\lim_{x \rightarrow \infty}x^2=\infty \] \[\lim_{x \rightarrow \infty}e^{-4x}=0 \] \[\lim_{x \rightarrow \infty}g(x)*f(x)=\infty * 0\] For the third option: \[f(x)=(Lnx)^3\] \[g(x)=x^{-1}\] \[\lim_{x \rightarrow \infty}(Lnx)^3=\infty \] \[\lim_{x \rightarrow \infty}x^{-1}=0 \] \[\lim_{x \rightarrow \infty}g(x)*f(x)=\infty * 0\] For the last option: \[f(x)=x^{1/2}\] \[g(x)=e^{-x}\] \[\lim_{x \rightarrow \infty}x^{1/2}=\infty \] \[\lim_{x \rightarrow \infty}e^{-x}=0 \] \[\lim_{x \rightarrow \infty}g(x)*f(x)=\infty * 0\]

OpenStudy (sunnnystrong):

@iwanttogotostanford. think i messed up somewhere but basically.. we are finding what limits doesn't = 0 because most of these do. checking work now

OpenStudy (3mar):

That leads to nothing of the choices..

OpenStudy (3mar):

I have checked and you are correct @sunnnystrong

OpenStudy (hafeda):

i will post my solution for the question just give me few mins to type please

OpenStudy (sunnnystrong):

yeah idk D::::: lol @3mar and i'd like to see that @hafeda

OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):

@sunnnystrong ugh um so confused... out of all what would you say is your best guess???

OpenStudy (hafeda):

sure i am new to the equation system so i will need few minutes lol

OpenStudy (hafeda):

ur answer is A btw

OpenStudy (sunnnystrong):

hmm gimmie me a min and it isn't a

OpenStudy (3mar):

@hafeda show us please How can you reach that answer?

OpenStudy (sunnnystrong):

@iwanttogotostanford... D:

OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):

no one knows...???

OpenStudy (sunnnystrong):

OK WAIT MAYBE ITS A

OpenStudy (sunnnystrong):

I take it back lol

OpenStudy (sunnnystrong):

Because: indeterminate form: \[(\lim_{x \rightarrow \infty}x *\lim_{x \rightarrow \infty}\frac{ 1 }{ x } )\neq(\lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} (x+*\frac{ 1 }{ x })=1\]

OpenStudy (hafeda):

\[\lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} f(x) \times g(x) \neq 0\] \[\lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} (10x + e^-x)\times (\frac{ 1 }{5x })\] \[\lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} x(10 + \frac{ 1 }{ e ^{x} \times x } ) ( \frac{ 1 }{ 5x } )\] ( I pulled out the x from the 10 and e) \[\lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} (\frac{ 1 }{ 5 } ) [(\frac{ e ^{-x} }{ x }) + 10]\] ( Now the x cancel outs ) \[\frac{ 1 }{ 5 } (\lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} [\frac{ e ^{-x} }{ x }] + \lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} 10)\] (Now limit property applied to both term ) \[\frac{ 1 }{ 5 } ((\frac{ e ^{-\infty} }{ x ^{\infty} } ) + 10)\] now i did the substitution \[\frac{ 1 }{ 5 } ( (\frac{ 0 }{ \infty }) + 10) \] e to the infinity is zero and zero divided by any number is zero \[\frac{ 1 }{ 5 } (0 + 10 )\] \[\frac{ 10 }{ 5 } = 2\]

OpenStudy (hafeda):

if u need help with any explanation i can do it no problem

OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):

@hafeda ah thank you i had a suspicion it was A but had no confidence- thank you sir!

OpenStudy (hafeda):

Happy to help

OpenStudy (hafeda):

@3mar here is the solution

OpenStudy (sunnnystrong):

It is A... But it isn't 2 it's 50.

OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):

@hafeda @sunnnystrong are you guys good at economics??? i really need help with some questions and graphs..... either or

OpenStudy (sunnnystrong):

according to wolfram :D

OpenStudy (sunnnystrong):

& no i'm pitiful sorry

OpenStudy (hafeda):

no i am not good with graph or econ, i am sorry

OpenStudy (hafeda):

@sunnnystrong LOL

OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):

aw ok do either of you know any on here that are good at it???

OpenStudy (sunnnystrong):

hmm on open study nah :/ @hafeda :D good job for realizing that A was an indeterminate form of infinity*0

OpenStudy (3mar):

Thank you for good explanation, @hafeda ... high grade technique... I really appreciate that! You have helped three people right here! so Thank you very much.

OpenStudy (3mar):

and it is actually correct (2 not 50) @sunnnystrong Check the given functions \(g(x)\) and \(f(x)\) again please! https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=limit+(10x%2Be%5E(-x))*+(1%2F(5x))

OpenStudy (3mar):

I hope you got the idea! @iwanttogotostanford

OpenStudy (sunnnystrong):

@3mar oh wow haha I evaluated the whole thing wrong in the first place ^^^ if you look set my work I did 5/x vs 1/5x D: ah okay I'm done lol. If it was 5/x definitely wouldn't be a sooo XD
