It is known that lim(x→∞) f(x) = ∞. Find lim(x→∞) (f(x))^(-f(x)).

Solution

The image is in Estonian and translates to:

"It is known that limxf(x)=\lim_{x \to \infty} f(x) = \infty. Find limx(f(x))f(x)\lim_{x \to \infty} (f(x))^{-f(x)}."

Let's analyze and solve the limit.

Given: limxf(x)=\lim_{x \to \infty} f(x) = \infty

We need to find: limx(f(x))f(x)\lim_{x \to \infty} (f(x))^{-f(x)}

Rewrite (f(x))f(x)(f(x))^{-f(x)} as: (f(x))f(x)=ef(x)ln(f(x))(f(x))^{-f(x)} = e^{-f(x) \ln(f(x))}

So, our problem becomes finding: limxef(x)ln(f(x))\lim_{x \to \infty} e^{-f(x) \ln(f(x))}

Since limxf(x)=\lim_{x \to \infty} f(x) = \infty, it implies that f(x)ln(f(x))f(x) \ln(f(x)) \to \infty as xx \to \infty. Therefore, the expression f(x)ln(f(x))-f(x) \ln(f(x)) approaches -\infty.

Thus: limxef(x)ln(f(x))=e=0\lim_{x \to \infty} e^{-f(x) \ln(f(x))} = e^{-\infty} = 0

Conclusion:

limx(f(x))f(x)=0\lim_{x \to \infty} (f(x))^{-f(x)} = 0

Here are 5 questions to explore this further:

  1. How do we handle limits when functions approach infinity at different rates?
  2. What other techniques can be used to simplify expressions involving f(x)f(x)f(x)^{-f(x)}?
  3. What if f(x)f(x) approaches infinity at a slower rate? How would that affect the limit?
  4. Can this method be applied to limits involving other forms like f(x)g(x)f(x)^{g(x)}?
  5. Why does exponential decay (e.g., ee^{-\infty}) lead to zero?

Tip: Converting expressions to exponential form can often simplify limits involving complex powers.
