Math Problem Statement

Show that lim_{x\rightarrow0}|n|x|=-\infty

Solution

It seems like you're asking to prove the limit:

limx0nx=.\lim_{x \to 0} |n|x| = -\infty.

However, this expression seems a bit ambiguous. Let's break it down:

  1. Absolute value: The expression contains n|n|, which suggests nn might be a constant or a variable. If nn is a constant, then n|n| is just a positive number.
  2. Product: The expression is nx|n| \cdot |x|, which is a product of the absolute value of nn and the absolute value of xx.
  3. Limit: We are trying to evaluate the behavior of this expression as x0x \to 0.

Analyzing the Limit

If nn is a constant and x0x \to 0, then:

limx0nx=nlimx0x.\lim_{x \to 0} |n|x| = |n| \cdot \lim_{x \to 0} |x|.

Since x0|x| \to 0 as x0x \to 0, this means that:

limx0nx=n0=0.\lim_{x \to 0} |n|x| = |n| \cdot 0 = 0.

Thus, the limit is 0, not -\infty.

Possible Clarification

If there is a negative sign or a different context you're referring to (such as nn being a variable that depends on xx in a certain way), please clarify the problem so I can provide a more accurate explanation.

Key Point:

For the limit of nx|n|x| as x0x \to 0, the result is always 0.

Let me know if you meant something different or have additional context!

Tip: Remember that limits involving absolute values often simplify, as the absolute value function essentially "removes" negative signs, making analysis easier.
