lim⁡x→∞ 24x6−x4+2x3−13x6+2x5+3=\displaystyle \lim_{x\to\infty}\ \frac{24x^6-x^4+2x^3-1}{3x^6+2x^5+3}=
Each question is worth 3 marks.
Evaluating Limits
Evaluate the following limit, or state that it does not exist and why.
lim⁡x→∞4x6−7x3+13x3+2x−2\lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} \frac{\sqrt{4x^6 - 7x^3 + 1}}{3x^3 + 2x - 2}
Limits and Continuity
Evaluate the following limits:
a) lim⁡x→4x−4x−4\displaystyle \lim_{x \rightarrow 4} \frac{\sqrt{x} - \sqrt{4}}{x - 4}
b) lim⁡x→∞x2−5x+134x4+3x−21\displaystyle \lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} \frac{x^2 - 5x + 13}{\sqrt{4x^4 +3x - 21}}
Limits at Infinity
Find the slant asymptote to the curve y=x3+x2+1x2+1\displaystyle y=\frac{x^3+x^2+1}{x^2+1}
