Math Problem Statement
Solution
This image appears to present a list of functions and asks to identify which ones are "infinitely small" as , with several options provided.
Let me evaluate each function:
-
when : As approaches 0, this function diverges, going to infinity. Hence, this is not infinitely small.
-
when : As approaches infinity, this function tends to 0. This qualifies as an infinitely small function at .
-
when : As approaches infinity, this function tends to 0 as well, so it is infinitely small.
-
when : This function tends to 0 as , but not infinitely small because it does not approach 0 rapidly enough (it’s a linear function).
Thus, functions and are infinitely small, corresponding to the options 2 and 3.
The correct answer would be 234.
Would you like more details on any of these calculations? Here's a set of related questions to further explore:
- What are the criteria for a function to be considered "infinitely small" near a point?
- How do different powers of affect whether a function is infinitely small as ?
- Can a function like ever be considered small as ?
- How do trigonometric functions behave in limits like as ?
- What are the general strategies for determining the limit of a function as approaches infinity?
Tip: When examining functions for limits, always check whether the function approaches a constant value, grows without bound, or shrinks towards zero.
