Solution
We are tasked with finding the limit of the function
as .
Step-by-Step Solution
-
Identify dominant terms: When , the highest degree terms in both the numerator and denominator will dominate, since lower-order terms become negligible in comparison to higher-order terms.
- In the numerator, the dominant term is .
- In the denominator, the dominant term is .
-
Simplify the expression using the dominant terms: We approximate for large by ignoring the lower-order terms and focusing on the dominant terms in both the numerator and denominator.
-
Simplify the powers of : Now, simplify the expression by subtracting the exponents of .
- The exponent in the numerator is .
- The exponent in the denominator is .
We need to subtract these exponents:
So we have:
-
Take the limit as : As , the term grows without bound, and thus the fraction approaches 0.
Therefore, the limit is:
