Solution

Let's solve each limit step-by-step.

  1. limt+13t2\lim_{{t \to +\infty}} \frac{1}{3} t^2

    • As tt approaches infinity, t2t^2 also approaches infinity. Since there’s no factor that would make the expression finite or zero, this limit will be: limt+13t2=+\lim_{{t \to +\infty}} \frac{1}{3} t^2 = +\infty
  2. limt+(3et7)\lim_{{t \to +\infty}} (3e^t - 7)

    • As tt approaches infinity, ete^t grows exponentially towards infinity. Thus, 3et3e^t will also tend to infinity, and subtracting 7 does not change this: limt+(3et7)=+\lim_{{t \to +\infty}} (3e^t - 7) = +\infty
  3. limtln(73t)\lim_{{t \to -\infty}} \ln(7 - 3t)

    • As tt approaches -\infty, 3t3t will approach ++\infty (since 3-3 times a large negative is positive). Consequently, 73t7 - 3t approaches -\infty, and the natural logarithm of a large negative value is undefined in real terms. Thus: limtln(73t)=undefined\lim_{{t \to -\infty}} \ln(7 - 3t) = \text{undefined}
  4. limt0ln(3t)\lim_{{t \to 0}} \ln(-3t)

    • As tt approaches 0 from the positive side, 3t-3t approaches 0 from the negative side. However, the natural logarithm of a negative number is not defined in the real number system, so: limt0ln(3t)=undefined\lim_{{t \to 0}} \ln(-3t) = \text{undefined}
  5. limt7/3ln(3t7)\lim_{{t \to 7/3}} \ln(3t - 7)

    • As tt approaches 7/37/3, 3t73t - 7 approaches 0 from the positive side. The natural logarithm of a number approaching 0 from the positive side tends to -\infty: limt7/3ln(3t7)=\lim_{{t \to 7/3}} \ln(3t - 7) = -\infty
  6. limt7/3ln(73t)\lim_{{t \to 7/3}} \ln(7 - 3t)

    • Similarly, as tt approaches 7/37/3, 73t7 - 3t also approaches 0, but from the negative side. The natural logarithm of a negative value is undefined in the reals: limt7/3ln(73t)=undefined\lim_{{t \to 7/3}} \ln(7 - 3t) = \text{undefined}
  7. limt13t2\lim_{{t \to -\infty}} -\frac{1}{3} t^2

    • Here, as tt approaches -\infty, t2t^2 approaches ++\infty. Multiplying by 13-\frac{1}{3} makes the expression approach -\infty: limt13t2=\lim_{{t \to -\infty}} -\frac{1}{3} t^2 = -\infty
  8. limt+3t\lim_{{t \to +\infty}} -3t

    • As tt approaches ++\infty, 3t3t approaches ++\infty, so 3t-3t will approach -\infty: limt+3t=\lim_{{t \to +\infty}} -3t = -\infty
  9. limt+13t2\lim_{{t \to +\infty}} -\frac{1}{3} t^2

    • As tt approaches ++\infty, 13t2\frac{1}{3} t^2 approaches ++\infty, but with the negative sign in front, it will approach -\infty: limt+13t2=\lim_{{t \to +\infty}} -\frac{1}{3} t^2 = -\infty
  10. limt+ln(3t)\lim_{{t \to +\infty}} \ln(-3t)

    • As tt approaches ++\infty, 3t-3t approaches -\infty, making ln(3t)\ln(-3t) undefined in the real number system: limt+ln(3t)=undefined\lim_{{t \to +\infty}} \ln(-3t) = \text{undefined}
