Math Problem Statement
what is limx->infinity of arctan(x)/x
Solution
To evaluate the limit , let's follow these steps:
Step 1: Behavior of as
The arctangent function approaches as . So:
Step 2: Apply the limit to the given expression
Now, let's consider the ratio . As grows very large:
- The numerator, , approaches , which is a constant.
- The denominator, , grows without bound.
This means we are essentially dividing a constant by an infinitely large number:
[ \lim_{{x \to \infty}} \frac{\arct
