Math Problem Statement

lim (x -> ∞) ((x + 5)/x) * sqrt(x)

Solution

The given limit expression is:

limx(x+5xx)\lim_{x \to \infty} \left( \frac{x + 5}{x} \sqrt{x} \right)

Step-by-Step Solution:

  1. Simplify the expression inside the limit: x+5x=xx+5x=1+5x\frac{x + 5}{x} = \frac{x}{x} + \frac{5}{x} = 1 + \frac{5}{x} So, the original limit becomes: limx((1+5x)x)\lim_{x \to \infty} \left( \left( 1 + \frac{5}{x} \right) \sqrt{x} \right)

  2. Take the limit as xx \to \infty: As xx \to \infty, the term 5x0\frac{5}{x} \to 0. Hence, the expression simplifies to: (1+0)x=x\left( 1 + 0 \right) \sqrt{x} = \sqrt{x}

  3. Final Limit: The limit of x\sqrt{x} as xx \to \infty is infinite. Therefore: limx(x+5xx)=\lim_{x \to \infty} \left( \frac{x+5}{x} \sqrt{x} \right) = \infty

Thus, the limit is:

\boxed{\infty}

  1. How do we handle limits with square roots in the denominator?
  2. What happens if we have a negative power in the limit as xx \to \infty?
  3. How would the result change if the expression inside the square root was different?
  4. What is the behavior of limits that involve logarithmic functions as xx \to \infty?
  5. Can you explain how L'Hopital's Rule could apply to this type of limit?

Tip: Always simplify the expression as much as possible before applying the limit to identify terms that vanish or dominate.
