Q. Find the limit as x x approaches negative infinity.\newlinelimx5x2+6x16x45x2= \lim _{x \rightarrow-\infty} \frac{5 x^{2}+6 x}{\sqrt{16 x^{4}-5 x^{2}}}=
  1. Divide by x2x^2: To find the limit of the given function as xx approaches negative infinity, we need to analyze the behavior of the numerator and the denominator separately. 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 x2x^2.
  2. Simplify expression: Divide the numerator and the denominator by x2x^2: \newlinelimx5x2/x2+6x/x216x4/x25x2/x2\lim_{x \rightarrow -\infty} \frac{5x^2/x^2 + 6x/x^2}{\sqrt{16x^4/x^2 - 5x^2/x^2}}\newlineSimplify the expression:\newlinelimx5+6/x16x25\lim_{x \rightarrow -\infty} \frac{5 + 6/x}{\sqrt{16x^2 - 5}}
  3. Remove terms: As xx approaches negative infinity, the term 6x\frac{6}{x} in the numerator approaches 00, and the term 5x2-\frac{5}{x^2} in the denominator also approaches 00. Therefore, we can simplify the expression further by removing these terms:\newlinelimx516x2\lim_{x \to -\infty} \frac{5}{\sqrt{16x^2}}
  4. Simplify square root: Now, we can simplify the square root in the denominator by taking x2x^2 out of the square root, which gives us x|x| (the absolute value of xx). Since we are considering the limit as xx approaches negative infinity, x|x| will be equal to x-x (because xx is negative and the absolute value makes it positive):\newlinelimx516x\lim_{x \to -\infty} \frac{5}{\sqrt{16} \cdot |x|}\newlinelimx54x\lim_{x \to -\infty} \frac{5}{4 \cdot -x}
  5. Multiply by 14-\frac{1}{4}: Simplify the expression by multiplying the numerator by 14-\frac{1}{4} (since we are dividing by 4x-4x):\newlinelimx541x\lim_{x \to -\infty} -\frac{5}{4} \cdot \frac{1}{x}\newlineAs xx approaches negative infinity, 1x\frac{1}{x} approaches 00. Therefore, the limit of the entire expression as xx approaches negative infinity is:\newline540=0-\frac{5}{4} \cdot 0 = 0
