Q. Determine the following limit in simplest form. If the limit is infinite, state that the limit does not exist (DNE).\newlinelimxx48x2+x+3x3 \lim _{x \rightarrow \infty} \frac{\sqrt{x^{4}-8 x}}{2+x+3 x^{3}} \newlineAnswer:
  1. Simplify Expression: To find the limit of the given function as xx approaches infinity, we need to analyze the behavior of the numerator and the denominator separately and then together. We will start by simplifying the expression by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by the highest power of xx in the denominator, which is x3x^3.
  2. Divide by x3x^3: Divide the numerator and the denominator by x3x^3. In the numerator, we have a square root, so we will divide the term inside the square root by x6x^6 (since (x3)2=x6(x^3)^2 = x^6) to maintain the equivalence.\newlinex48x2+x+3x3=(x4x6)(8xx6)2x3+xx2+3x3x3\frac{\sqrt{x^{4}-8x}}{2+x+3x^{3}} = \frac{\sqrt{(\frac{x^{4}}{x^6})-(\frac{8x}{x^6})}}{\frac{2}{x^3}+\frac{x}{x^2}+\frac{3x^{3}}{x^3}}
  3. Simplify Inside Square Root: Simplify the expression inside the square root and the terms in the denominator.\newline((x4/x6)(8x/x6))/(2/x3+x/x2+3x3/x3)=(1/x28/x6)/(2/x3+1/x+3)(\sqrt{(x^{4}/x^6)-(8x/x^6)})/(2/x^3+x/x^2+3x^{3}/x^3) = (\sqrt{1/x^2 - 8/x^6})/(2/x^3 + 1/x + 3)
  4. Analyze Terms: As xx approaches infinity, the terms 1x2\frac{1}{x^2}, 8x6\frac{8}{x^6}, 2x3\frac{2}{x^3}, and 1x\frac{1}{x} in the simplified expression will approach zero. Therefore, we can ignore these terms for the limit calculation.1x28x62x3+1x+3\frac{\sqrt{\frac{1}{x^2} - \frac{8}{x^6}}}{\frac{2}{x^3} + \frac{1}{x} + 3} becomes 00+3\frac{\sqrt{0}}{0 + 3} as xx approaches infinity.
  5. Calculate Limit: The square root of 00 is 00, and 00 divided by any non-zero number is 00. Therefore, the limit of the given function as xx approaches infinity is 00.
