Q. Determine the following limit in simplest form. If the limit is infinite, state that the limit does not exist (DNE).x→∞lim1+9x23−6x2−27x6Answer:
Identify highest power: We are given the limit to evaluate: limx→∞(1+9x23−6x2−27x6)First, we need to identify the highest power of x in the numerator and the denominator to simplify the expression.
Factor out x6 and x2: The highest power of x in the numerator inside the cube root is x6, and in the denominator, it is x2. To simplify, we will factor out x6 from the cube root in the numerator and x2 from the denominator.
Rewrite the limit: Factoring out x6 from the cube root in the numerator gives us:3x6(−x46−27)And factoring out x2 from the denominator gives us:x2(1+9)
Simplify cube root: Now we rewrite the limit as: x→∞lim⎝⎛x2(1+9)3x6(−x46−27)⎠⎞
Cancel out x2 terms: We can simplify the cube root of x6 as x2 because (x2)3=x6. The limit now becomes:x→∞lim(x23−x46−27)/(x2(1+9))
Simplify expression: We can cancel out the x2 terms in the numerator and the denominator:x→∞lim(3x4−6−27)/(1+9)
Simplify cube root: As x approaches infinity, the term −x46 approaches 0. So we can simplify the expression inside the cube root to just −27:x→∞lim(1+93−27)
Final simplification: The cube root of −27 is −3, and 1+9 is 10. So the limit simplifies to:x→∞lim(10−3)
Evaluate the limit: Since −103 is a constant, the limit as x approaches infinity is simply:−103
