Determine the limit of: lim (x→-∞) (√(9x^2+5x+5) - √(9x^2-7x-4)) and lim (x→-∞) (√(x+5) - √(2x-3))

Solution

I see that you've uploaded a math problem image. Let's address both questions provided in the image:

Question 9:

limx(9x2+5x+59x27x4)\lim_{x \to -\infty} \left( \sqrt{9x^2 + 5x + 5} - \sqrt{9x^2 - 7x - 4} \right)

To solve this limit as xx \to -\infty, we need to simplify the expression. The highest degree term inside both square roots is 9x29x^2, so we can factor out x2x^2 from both square roots:

9x2+5x+59x2=3x=3x(as xx=x)\sqrt{9x^2 + 5x + 5} \approx \sqrt{9x^2} = 3|x| = -3x \quad \text{(as } x \to -\infty \text{, } |x| = -x \text{)} 9x27x49x2=3x=3x\sqrt{9x^2 - 7x - 4} \approx \sqrt{9x^2} = 3|x| = -3x

Now subtracting the two dominant terms: limx(3x(3x))=0\lim_{x \to -\infty} \left( -3x - (-3x) \right) = 0

Thus, the value of the limit is: 0\boxed{0}

Question 10:

limx(x+52x3)\lim_{x \to -\infty} \left( \sqrt{x + 5} - \sqrt{2x - 3} \right)

For very large negative xx, the square roots dominate. Let's approximate:

x+5x,2x32x\sqrt{x+5} \approx \sqrt{x}, \quad \sqrt{2x-3} \approx \sqrt{2x}

Now subtract these dominant terms: limx(x2x)\lim_{x \to -\infty} \left( \sqrt{x} - \sqrt{2x} \right) =limx(x(12))= \lim_{x \to -\infty} \left( \sqrt{x}(1 - \sqrt{2}) \right)

As xx \to -\infty, x(12)\sqrt{x}(1 - \sqrt{2}) becomes infinitely negative because 121 - \sqrt{2} is negative.

Thus, the value of the limit is: \boxed{-\infty}

Let me know if you'd like further clarification or a detailed breakdown of these solutions!

Tip: Always factor out the highest degree term inside square roots to simplify limits at infinity!
