Math Problem Statement
Solution
The task in the image asks to find the leading term of each function as and determine the growth order of these functions. Let's go through each one step by step.
Given functions:
Analyzing each function as :
1.
For large , the highest degree term dominates. In this case, grows faster than and .
- Leading term:
- Growth order:
2.
For large , the dominant term in the numerator is , and the dominant term in the denominator is .
- Simplifying for large :
- Leading term:
- Growth order:
3.
For large , the highest degree term inside the cube root is .
- Approximating for large : [ \sqrt[3]{x^2 - x + \sqrt{x}} \approx \sqrt[3]{x^2} ]
- Leading term:
- Growth order:
4.
For large , the dominant term inside the square roots will be the innermost square root .
- Approximating for large :
- Leading term:
- Growth order:
Summary of Leading Terms and Growth Orders:
