Math Problem Statement

Suppose lim_{x→∞} f(x) = -9 and lim_{x→∞} g(x) = 8. Evaluate lim_{x→∞} [ (x²f(x) + 8x - 10) / (x²g(x) + 4x - 6) ].

Solution

The image presents the following problem:

Given: limxf(x)=9,limxg(x)=8\lim_{x \to \infty} f(x) = -9, \quad \lim_{x \to \infty} g(x) = 8 Evaluate: limxx2f(x)+8x10x2g(x)+4x6\lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{x^2 f(x) + 8x - 10}{x^2 g(x) + 4x - 6}

Solution:

  1. Start by analyzing the limits of each term in both the numerator and the denominator as xx \to \infty.
  • Numerator: x2f(x)+8x10=x2(9)+8x10=9x2+8x10x^2 f(x) + 8x - 10 = x^2 (-9) + 8x - 10 = -9x^2 + 8x - 10 As xx \to \infty, the dominant term in the numerator is 9x2-9x^2.

  • Denominator: x2g(x)+4x6=x2(8)+4x6=8x2+4x6x^2 g(x) + 4x - 6 = x^2 (8) + 4x - 6 = 8x^2 + 4x - 6 As xx \to \infty, the dominant term in the denominator is 8x28x^2.
