Math Problem Statement

give me the correct answer and make it clear which answer is supposed to go in which blank

Calculate lim x → ∞ ln(4x) / 4√x.

Solution

Let's go through the solution provided in the image step-by-step to determine the correct answers for each blank.

Solution Walkthrough:

  1. Original Limit Expression: limxln(4x)x4\lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{\ln(4x)}{\sqrt[4]{x}}

  2. Identifying the Indeterminate Form: As xx \to \infty, ln(4x)\ln(4x) \to \infty and x4\sqrt[4]{x} \to \infty, which creates an indeterminate form \frac{\infty}{\infty}. This suggests that we can apply L'Hospital's Rule.

  3. Applying L'Hospital's Rule: Differentiate the numerator and denominator with respect to xx: limxln(4x)x4=limx1x14x3/4\lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{\ln(4x)}{\sqrt[4]{x}} = \lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{\frac{1}{x}}{\frac{1}{4}x^{-3/4}}

  4. Simplifying the Result: The expression simplifies further to: limx1x4x3/4=limx4x1/4\lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{1}{x} \cdot \frac{4}{x^{-3/4}} = \lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{4}{x^{1/4}}

  5. Evaluating the Final Limit: As xx \to \infty, 4x1/40\frac{4}{x^{1/4}} \to 0.

Filling in the Blanks:

  • The first blank (next to "Since ln(4x)\ln(4x) \to \infty and") should be "x4\sqrt[4]{x} \to \infty".
  • The second blank at the end of the solution should be "0".

Final Answer:

  1. First Blank: x4\sqrt[4]{x} \to \infty
  2. Second Blank: 00

Here are 5 additional questions that build on this concept:

  1. What are other examples of indeterminate forms that allow the use of L'Hospital's Rule?
  2. Can we apply L'Hospital's Rule to limits that tend to 00 \cdot \infty?
  3. How would the solution change if the denominator was x\sqrt{x} instead of x4\sqrt[4]{x}?
  4. How do we know when L'Hospital’s Rule needs to be applied multiple times?
  5. Why does ln(4x)\ln(4x) grow slower than any polynomial of xx?

Tip: When using L'Hospital's Rule, always check if the limit after differentiation still leads to an indeterminate form; if not, further applications may be unnecessary.
