Math Problem Statement

Find the limit of (sqrt(3x) - 2) / (sqrt(2 - 3/5x)) as x approaches infinity.

Solution

The given problem involves finding the limit of the expression as xx \to \infty:

limx3x2235x\lim_{{x \to \infty}} \frac{\sqrt{3x} - 2}{\sqrt{2 - \frac{3}{5}x}}

Steps to solve the limit:

  1. Analyze the behavior of the numerator:

    • The numerator is 3x2\sqrt{3x} - 2.
    • As xx \to \infty, 3x\sqrt{3x} grows without bound, and the constant 2-2 becomes negligible in comparison. Therefore, the numerator approaches 3x3x\sqrt{3x} \sim \sqrt{3} \cdot \sqrt{x}.
  2. Analyze the behavior of the denominator:

    • The denominator is 235x\sqrt{2 - \frac{3}{5}x}.
    • As xx \to \infty, the term 35x-\frac{3}{5}x dominates over the constant 22, so the denominator behaves like 35x35x\sqrt{-\frac{3}{5}x} \sim \sqrt{\frac{3}{5}} \cdot \sqrt{x}.
    • Notice that the expression becomes undefined unless we take into account the correct interpretation: the term inside the square root is negative, so we likely have a typographical issue or an absolute value is implied to keep the expression valid.

Approximation as xx \to \infty:

  • Numerator: 3x3x\sqrt{3x} \sim \sqrt{3} \cdot \sqrt{x}.
  • Denominator: 35x35x\sqrt{-\frac{3}{5}x} \sim \sqrt{\frac{3}{5}} \cdot \sqrt{x}, but due to negative square root, the limit might not exist.

If we assume the sign is adjusted (absolute value taken or reconsider the context), this simplifies the problem into: 3x35x=335=5.\frac{\sqrt{3} \cdot \sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{\frac{3}{5}} \cdot \sqrt{x}} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{\frac{3}{5}}} = \sqrt{5}.

Thus, the limit is: 5.\boxed{\sqrt{5}}.
