Math Problem Statement
Given that lim(x → a) f(x) = 0, lim(x → a) g(x) = 0, lim(x → a) h(x) = 1, lim(x → a) p(x) = ∞, and lim(x → a) q(x) = ∞, determine which of the following limits are indeterminate forms:
(a) lim(x → a) [f(x) - p(x)],
(b) lim(x → a) [p(x) - q(x)],
(c) lim(x → a) [p(x) + q(x)]. For indeterminate forms, mark 'I'. For positive infinity, use 'INF'. For negative infinity, use 'NINF'. For cases where the limit doesn't exist or can't be determined, mark 'D'.
Solution
Let's analyze the problem and evaluate the limits provided:
Given limits:
We need to classify the following limits:
(a)
- As and , this results in the form .
- A limit in the form is not indeterminate because subtracting any finite number (0) from results in .
- Thus, this limit evaluates to .
(b)
- Both and tend to , so this limit is in the form .
- The form is indeterminate, as the actual behavior depends on how and approach infinity relative to each other.
- Thus, this limit is indeterminate ().
(c)
- Both and tend to , so this limit is in the form .
- A limit in the form is not indeterminate and will result in .
- Thus, this limit evaluates to ().
Final Answers:
- (a)
- (b) (Indeterminate)
- (c) ()
